  These are great; but if they're not going in a proper cross flow server case, you should budget for a fan to jerry rig to this.

  They get hot. Chipset safety limit hot.

    Yeah, hot for a PC, but their standard operating temp is pretty 'high'. I've used a few in tower workstations, as long as they're getting heat out fairly efficiently these will be fine for years. Just don't accidentally touch them while they're running or you're likely to leave skin behind, and that smoke you're smelling isn't PC magic smoke, it's your own burning flesh, and none of your coworkers family cats wants to smell that… Ok, maybe your cats will, but a little too much… >.<

    Yep, I made the mistake of trying to run one of these passively in a standard PC case. It got alarmingly toasty before dying, though to be fair it might have survived if I used fibre instead of copper transceivers.

  Good price for home lab but it's a bit out dated to call this next generation. 25Gb is now getting pretty common in data centre space.

  The benefits are so good you mentioned them three times??

  PCI Express (PCIe) 3.0, x8

  Do bear this in mind, so if you go for cheaper chipset motherboard and only PCIe 3.0 x4 is offered for that secondary PCIe x16 slot, then…. I guess it will be a great door stopper.

  Even if your motherboard offers it, would it run in x8 x8 configuration, dropping the GPU slot from x16 to x8? This is more for a server based setup.

    I guess it will be a great door stopper.

    No, it'll still function. The total bandwith will just be limited.

    With 31gigabit of bandwith in a 4x slot, I doubt you'd actually hit a bottleneck.

    Ive hung the non SFP models out of 1x slots.

      MasterScythe is correct, it will still function. TBH you're more likely to hit a bottleneck because of the way motherboard vendors design the PCIe links, your 4x slots are far more likely to sit on a heavily shared bus that's impacted by other components. In a server design you have two to four times as many lanes than in a PC, so you end up with each device actually getting the bandwidth it's designed for. One of the reasons I prefer Ryzen/TR/Epyc over the last few years, a boatload more PCIe bandwidth than Intel have been providing.
