- altairprime 2mo agoFor a 25G NIC, I’d be perfectly unsurprised if it demanded an x16 slot. I’d be more surprised if it didn’t have a power connector like a video card, though.
- StillBored 2mo agoI might be hallucinating, but IIRC this is now dependent on PCIe revision. More recent revisions have removed the slot power limits line, and so it works out that in theory a x4 slot (or any other size) can have a 75W load. IIRC this is stated in the middle of a giant section on up/down plugging. (but its also displayed in the pcie PowerLimit capabilities you can see with lspci)
