Hi Everyone, i am looking for a 10gb Ethernet nic to expand my networking setup. i have used the Asus xg c100c. but i am having issues with longevity and stable connection. an intel nic is the dream but i know that is a little to rich for my blood at the moment. any suggestions on what has worked for you?

Some of the "older" Intel 10 GbE cards are starting to show up refurbished from various sellers, and supposedly "new" from China sellers for ~$65 USD. Might be worth the risk?
