Killer ethernet? Or coax.

[poggwea]

My x99a godlike gaming carbon *ik is espensive* has a lot of stuff about have great internet speeds. It guves you the opti9n for a coaxial run or an ethernet run. And is talking about dual ethernet cords being more performance? I literally know nothing about that at all. The ethernet or coax, ehich to use? Do i use 2 ethernet cords? Can someone point me in the right direction on how to get the best network performance.

The "COAX" connectors you're talking about are for WIFI antennas. They have nothing to do with coax cables. So do not use these if Ethernet is an option.

 

It may have 2 Ethernet ports on it, but your INTERNET speed is nowhere near the capacity of a SINGLE one. The only benefit you would see from doing dual Ethernet is if you had server on your home network that was also able to use multiple Ethernet connections to do aggregation.

 

TLDR: plug in a single Ethernet cable and call it a day.

I am not sure if I understand you correctly OP.

The X99A Godlike gaming does not have a coax port.

 

You can either use an Ethernet cable, or WiFi for network connectivity on that board. I strongly recommend using an Ethernet cable, and only use one (even though your motherboard has two). You will most likely not benefit from using two cables.
