Hi, I am wondering if I have fried my nic / it faulty/overheating / or I just shouldn't have purchased a cheap 20gbp from a Chinese reseller, it worked for a month now its giving errors.
This isn't my FreeNAS nic, it's in a windows 10 pro, hpz840 workstation which connects to my FreeNAS over the network.
This setup has worked fine for 2 months but now but is starting to have issues, 'code 43' in windows and the hp bios reporting problems on the PCI-E slot it is plugged into. I have tried different slots with the same errors. It will come back after a restart but shortly after working the 43 code re-appears and no connection to the network
Now this card isn't officially supported by the z840 but it is supported by its predecessor the z820. Which is very similar in design. It has worked for a few months.
The card in question is an "HP NC522SFP Dual Port NIC" So I'd be surprised at overheating issues, with such a similar chassis and cooling system. I gathered just another way of hp making more money.
The z840 officially supports the HP x520 however this card is much more expensive which is why I purchased the other, to begin with, big mistake?
I'll probably just buy one of these for peace of mind, what are peoples thoughts here?
Thanks in advance, please let me know if this is posted in the wrong forum, it was my best bet for this kind of issue. I know not a FreeNAS issue but It would be great to get the FreeNAS community to advise on this
