RJ-45 I assume?

Yes, RJ45. Thanks for the list, I'll check them.

Probably your search for PCIe 2.0 constraining results, 2.5Gbe is 5 years newer than PCIe 3.0 so there's little reason to have a 2.5Gbe card that runs PCIe 2.0.

 

Just get 3.0 cards and run them in your 2.0 slots, checking the bandwidth checks out.

Thanks for clarify me. My concern now its regarding the power, since 3.0 cards need more that the slot can provide.

Delock has a Delock PCI Express x4 Card to 4 x 2.5 Gigabit LAN RTL8125.

Thanks I'll check if this is the one.

2.5Gbe dedicated, I need to connect multiple devices/networks.

I'm searching for a Quad port 2.5Gbe PCI-E 2.0 (x4 or x8) card but I can't find it, only 1Gbe ones. My plan it's to have 1 or 2 of those cards in a Supermicro X8DTE motherboard. I know that there are a bunch of dual port cards, but I'm not willing to sacrifice 3 or 4 slots.

Here's some pictures, I did it in a Define R4. Had to cut a hole in the 5.25" bay and had to cut the socket backplates down to normal size. THen finally to fit the HDD cage back in I had to install it wonkily.

 

 

Overral though I'm quite pleased, just need to work out what's up with the GPU. It's showing up in Furmark as being in crossfire for some reason, and it keeps dipping down utilisation to 60% every ten or so seconds.

 

 

EDIT:: Also there's a USB3.0 card in there off ebay, a Wifi Card and a SATA3 card in the bottom slot, haven't tested the speed of the SATA3 card yet.

Your CPU Coolers are blocking some DIMMs, aren't they?

but why not Slidenjoy?

Because it's too expensive.
