I don't have a 2.5Gbe switch to test with. Connecting the 2 computers directly gives me roughly 8Gbps on iperf, though.Tried a different switch in between?

What pfsense version are you running? Last I heard, it didn't have i226 support, which is one of the reasons people use opnsense instead.Resetting the BIOS didn't help.
2.7.0CE. 2.6.0 had support for the older i225-v NICs. Support for the i226-v NICs came out with 2.7.0. But I don't think it's pfSense since Windows exhibits the same performance.What pfsense version are you running?

I had similar issues under opnsense vm. Couldn't obtain more than 1,6g there. Tried different tuning settings posted here and there to make it multi threaded pf. Didn't help. Spawned vm with openwrt 23.05 and it was line rate from the get goI purchased a HUNSN RJ38 and I can't seem to get full speed out of the NICs. Most every connection only gives me 1.6Gbps. I'm using 2 PCs with 10Gbe NICs to test with. The ports link at 2.5Gbps but I don't get those speeds. CPU usage is fine. I've tried running Windows on the HUNSN and pfSense to route the iperf between the 2 PCs. All the same. Anyone else having difficulties getting their units to hit the full 2.5Gbps? Any ideas on tweaks? I've contacted HUNSN and they instructed me to enable Turbo, but it comes on by default.
I've also done some performance testing to see the balance of power/speed of the CPU. If anyone wants to look it over I've posted my numbers here in the pfSense forums. I'll update it as I do more. The short of it is that ST maxes at 7W and MT maxes at 9W. 10W was slightly faster and anything higher slowly decreased performance (at least from a Passmark standpoint).
PL1- Default (6) = Passmark MT/ST = 4559/1854
PL1-7 = Passmark MT/ST = 5153/2095
PL1-8 = Passmark MT/ST = 5617/2084
PL1-9 = Passmark MT/ST = 6009/2083
PL1-10 = Passmark MT/ST = 6118/2081
PL2 was set to 0 and showed 25. That was default and I didn't change it.
Has anyone mentioned or noticed that the m.2 slots don't all run at x4 lane speeds? (4GB/s = PCIe3.0x4)
I have 3 units that use have 2 NVMe each, and when checking `lspci -vvv` I notice that for each unit, one of the slots is downgraded to x1.
This results in a max of about 1GB/s. And to add-on, the downgraded m.2's are the middle ones.Code:LnkSta: Speed 8GT/s (downgraded), Width x1 (downgraded)
Can someone that has a single NVMe inserted post their `lspci -vvv` results for that slot?
You can limit results by specifying the address - mine were:
`lspci -vvv -s 01:00.0` and `lspci -vvv -s 06:00.0`

I wonder if there's BIOS settings available to configure it to max speeds
Edit: after researching more a bit, this might be due to power saving feature. Meaning that the downgrade is only temporary as the device doesn't need to run at full speed from my understanding. Can anyone confirm?
I bought an older gen, but better-cased version recently: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005593329224.htmlHas anyone bought this unit ?
Snap. I had an i5-3470T before upgrading to the N100.My currently deployed i5 3570k pfsense rig sees my router/wan, so it's not a cable issue.
Are the i226-v nics still flaky
Thanks. It seems the Topton store is known to ship orders very slowly anyway so I decided to cancel that order and get this unit instead. 15 bucks more, but then I don't have to worry about coolingI bought an older gen, but better-cased version recently: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005593329224.html
It was cheaper than the newer versions, but the N100 works just fine, and on my bare-metal OPNsense box runs between 47 and 49C, and is brilliant.
Good luck. My order from the link I posted arrived 7 days from click to door. Of course YMMV!It seems the Topton store is known to ship orders very slowly anyway so I decided to cancel that order and get this unit instead
Interesting, but I've ruled out pfSense by installing Windows on a second SSD and testing. Same issue with both Operating systems.I had similar issues under opnsense vm. Couldn't obtain more than 1,6g there. Tried different tuning settings posted here and there to make it multi threaded pf. Didn't help.

Thanks. I suspect it will take substantially longer to deliver to Canada. Usually ~3 weeks. But I'm secretly hoping it will be here in 1 hahaGood luck. My order from the link I posted arrived 7 days from click to door. Of course YMMV!
From my proxmox 8.0.4I just received mine . I was wondering how you guys all get these nice temperature graphs. It seems thatI can't even get the current temperature as the lm_sensors package seems to be unavailable to install on Proxmox 8.0.

Did you enable no-subscription repository for proxmox? It's disabled by default
Package Repositories - Proxmox VE
pve.proxmox.com
I believe the easiest way is in the GUI under <your instance name> -> Updates -> Repositories
Welp then it should just be a matter ofI have these setup now:
apt update
apt install lm-sensors
