EDIT: Just strange how different price can be related to the eBay site

This price difference comes out of VAT. If you go via eBay.de they already include 19% VAT for delivering to Germany.

I know, but if you go through eBay.de like me and choose a US address, you still are being charged US$ 154.70. That's what I meant. I understand I wasn't clear enough.

 

[mrpasc]

Ah, understood. That’s weird indeed…

 

[EBRAddict]

Can anyone confirm these units aren't locked to Chelsio transceivers?

My card working with intel and aoi brand qsfp even a huawei 10g sfp+ transceiver.

Chelsio support confirmed that 110-1220-60 A0 is T62100 LP-CR. They can provide brackets for $25+shipping.

Even with this extra, the £90 cards are a terrific deal.

Did you order and receive any brackets?

I am looking for this card for my lab environment. Need a total of 4 items. And trays are not an issue. If you would like to sell please dm me.

But cards must exactly be : Chelsio PCI 110-1220-60 Dual Port 40/50/100gbe Adapter

• Keep in mind these have a max temp of 55C and need lots of airflow.
• Windows drivers seem good to go; Only Linux distro driver they support is Red Hat Enterprise. Otherwise you'll need to compile your own but the make file seems to cover up through 6.1 kernel. I'm not a makefile guru and I couldn't get it functional on Ubuntu 23.10.
• The inbox drivers on Ubuntu give you the basic functionality but not all the features.
• They won't wake properly from sleep, not a big deal if your host runs 24/7 but something to be aware of.

But they support ktls? That makes them super awesome

Seller accepted US$90

I'd assume these generate significant heat, but do you think running them in a desktop could be doable with 3d printed bracket fans or well positioned fans alone?

yes, but is this still a 'thing' with today's CPUs?

I didn't push mine very hard and used a 80mm fan along with generous case airflow. Even then it was idling around 50C, not much headroom for cooling. I went back to a Mellanox CX6-LX because I wanted a card that could wake from sleep reliably.

 

[BackupProphet]

yes, as you will have a lot more available memory bandwidth

yes, as you will have a lot more available memory bandwidth

Let's see how big the impact still is. Will try to run some tests and reproduce the research paper with this setup Github

 

[BackupProphet]

Would it not be easier to just benchmark nginx with tls?

 

[Robbas]

I can confirm: seller accepted 90$

 

[Digital Spaceport]

I am glad you pointed this out, sticking with Mellanox sounds like the safer route for workstations.
