Beware. The photo shows a new-in-box item with a half height supplementary bracket. Came shipped in a static bag within an envelope. No half height bracket.

The NIC was very easy to setup.

I added this card into a 10gig set up, it was the only thing that changed. It's showing only one port 10gig and the other 100 base.

The company originally sent me the x520-DA and not the X540-T2 I had ordered. I returned it and waited for the new one to arrive. I was happy when the new one was the correct card and also genuine. I went to intel and grabbed the latest drivers. The ones from Win update are from 2016. I have added them to a team and they are getting expected speeds. Would rate the card A+

I too had to pull off the heat sink, remove the thermal tape and add thermal grease to keep the card from overheating. It would work for about 5 minutes then disable it self with an over temp warning. I did order a second card just because this price is half of what everyone else is selling it for.

UPDATED REVIEW (as of December 17, 2015):This NIC runs incredibly fast and stable when paired with a 10G switch and Cat-6 cables. The switch I used was the Netgear XS708E 8-Port 10G Ethernet Switch (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B46AEE6), which wsa the most affordable 10G switch I could find. When also coupled with a RAID 5 or 1/0 array of disks, I've seen network I/O more than double its previous performance, and that only being limited by the disk I/O performance at each end of the stream.Highly recommend this, or the related single-port NIC.(NOTE: this is an update review from the original post below that had been posted on May 12, 2015.)_____________________Subject: Kind of Works -- But Very FinickyIt can work, but has some issues with link speed.I haven't yet purchased the 10Gb switch, and have it connected to a 10/100/1000 D-Link switch. When I first installed it, it took a minute or so, but linked up at 1 Gbps speeds. However, any time I either temporarily unplug a cable, or power-cycle the switch, it sits at 100 Mbps for days on end before re-establishing a 1 Gbps link speed. And if I specify to use a 1 Gbps speed, it stops working altogether for some reason. This is the most finicky / temperamental NIC I've ever owned. I'm hoping that it will behave better once I invest in the 10 Gb switch from Netgear!
