Windows 10 with Mallenox MNPA19-XTR

[Falloutboy]

Anyone here running Mallenox MNPA19-XTR's on Windows 10 1803 Build 17134.81?

Looking at pulling the trigger on a pair of these and and SFP cable, wanted to know they would still work after my debacle with ASUS XG-C100C's.

I have one installed in my brothers workstation, it is recognised with the windows drivers and works.
If you want to set specific settings I would recommend to install the current mellanox drivers.

Query you say your brothers workstation I presume it's P2P or is it going through a switch?

Thanks for that - bare in mind I'm new to SFP so i'm going to ask a dumb question - any cabling difference from pair to pair to the switch solution, I know base T networking used to require a cross over cable eons ago and that was eliminated with MDIX but i just don't know enough about SFP

Well all I can say is don't try running one of these at the moment with an X399 system, my ASUS X399 Prime A can't even see the card - from what I have managed to ascertain AGESA is at fault, it configures the CPU, Memory, Hyperthreading and also from digging through the source code for it builds the structures for BIOS to see PCIe cards.
