With the help of the domestic network strategy, gigabit bandwidth access to households has become the norm. Whether it's watching dramas, watching live broadcasts, or being an anchor, it can be easily achieved, but the pursuit is endless. If you want a smoother online experience in the game, you need to upgrade your network card . Although the motherboard's own network card chip is not replaceable, it can be improved by adding a third-party network card. I just started with a ORICO 2.5G electrical port expansion network card some time ago, so let me experience it together.
Nowadays, many computer users have been facing highly integrated computer hosts for a long time. It is estimated that the board card that has been seen most is just the huge graphics card , which is a subsidiary extension. There are not many NICs in contact, but it is still a rare weapon for enthusiast players. From the figure below, you can see that this ORICO 2.5G network card uses the PCI-E 1X interface, and in order to ensure the stability of the chip during high-speed switching, a "giant" thermal pad is added for heat dissipation. In addition, consider The adaptability to the standard chassis and the smaller ITX mainframe are equipped with high and low baffles as user options.
Because it is a household level 2. 5G wired network card, only one RJ45 network port with eight-core interface is provided in the baffle part, and the network port is also provided on both sides. Observe the LED indicator of the operating status of the network card. Compared with the glass lamp beads used in the early network cards, the LED lamp beads soldered on the motherboard are more beautiful.
The network card adopts pure black PCB design,In addition to the capacitors of different sizes that are welded in a regular manner, you can also see a XMC multi-channel chip of Dianthus Technology, which is currently used in mid-to-high-end network equipment on the market.
Although the device information can be seen by plugging the network card into the host, but out of curiosity, the big heat sink is removed. As you can see from the picture, this network card uses Crab’s RTL8125B chip, which has made a little improvement in performance as the second-generation chip.
Now the PCI-E interface on the computer motherboard has completely replaced the old AGP, PCI interface, so the user only needs to find the shortest interface on the motherboard. That's right, and for some special-shaped motherboards that are really small and only have a PCI-E 16X, if you don't use the graphics card, you can also occupy the front part of the long card slot for insertion.
After the network card is installed, because the installation of the network card will not automatically screen the on-board equipment like the installation of a graphics card, so if the partner does not insert the network cable into the newly installed network card in time Can not enjoy the corresponding performance improvement on the interface. Of course, there is a digression. If you want to run at the corresponding rate, the home router must also be matched with it.
After the installation is complete, the system will automatically connect the adapter driver and activate the network card after powering on the machine. You can see the speed and duplex menu compared to the traditional Gigabit network card menu There is an additional 2.5Gbps option in the column,If there is no special requirement, select the automatic mode. Of course, you can also choose 2.5G to force it to run at this rate.
Since it is a simple measurement, I will show you the throughput capability of ORICO 2.5G network card in the most simple and intuitive way. By copying files, it can be very intuitive to see that its stable transmission rate per second can reach more than 200 megabytes.
and the response is very fast when outputting content on multiple platforms at the same time. If the speed is adjusted by default, when the user copies files outwards at the same time or cross transfers content inside and outside at the same time, through tasks The manager can see that the device will automatically adjust the rate to 2.5Gbps. Under the default drive of the system, it can achieve 500m/s transmission, which is much faster than the onboard 1Gbps.
The experience is also coming to an end, here is a brief summary. Since the author is also new to 2.5G network equipment, I have not been able to fully demonstrate the full performance of ORICO 2.5G electrical port extended network card, but through a simple rate evaluation, it is undoubtedly the pursuit of the ultimate network enthusiasts. the best choice. In addition, for some users who want to upgrade the gigabit broadband network and the airborne or 100M network card is still on board, it is more cost-effective than buying an ordinary Gigabit network card for a few dozen dollars more to buy an ORICO electrical port expansion network card that supports 2.5G .
