Unfortunately these don't show up on Ebay.com. They state that they won't ship to the US. Thought I would post for
members across the pond. These start at $176 on Ebay.

Dealt with this seller in the past. Had to return 3/4 8259CL, but refund was quick and relatively painless.

What problems with those 8259CL? @NablaSquaredG

CPU nr. 1: Corner is broken
CPU nr. 2: Corner is broken
CPU nr. 3: Not working (Windows Bluescreen MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION)

Mine arrived today. But haven't had time to test them yet.

Update: i did a quick test. Seem to be detected OK in Linux. And with an iPolex Intel coded SFP module was able to get a 10 Gb link with an Horaco switch.

They are located in the same business park as Scaleway/Online.net DC5. Draw your own conclusions

Got one last weekend installed for a while but got tons of connectivity issues, rolled back to working Mellanox card, due to time pressure have had to shelf the card for now and will investigate later.

E: card came with this FW:

Num Description                          Ver.(hex)  DevId S:B    Status
=== ================================== ============ ===== ====== ==============

    for 10GbE SFP+                                               available

and upgraded fine to

01) Intel(R) Ethernet Controller X710   8.64(8.40)  1572 00:065 Update
    for 10GbE SFP+

I did play with SR-IOV but couldn't wrap my head around in the limited downtime I had.

Yes, my Ubuntu was also complaining about the NVVM being to old. I havent updated it yet. I saw on the Supermicro website, that you should contact support for an updated version. So i will do that, just to see if they have any additional comments.

Got the firmware files from SM support so I should be good to go as soon as I find some spare time, thanks for the heads up.

I contacted them this afternoon. They send me a link for version 9.00.

 

[mrpasc]

Mind sharing the link?

 

[bateman]

I'm also interested in the version 9.00 firmware if you have a link

 

[OstJoker]

Could you please share firmware? I also contacted them, - no response yet.

Got tall bracket in the mail (twice expensive eBay one) and did upgrade to SM firmware and seems solid enough now.
