Supermicro Intel C2758 system optimization
-
The box has 8GB, at the moment it is at 3% - with 10 Mbps.
But typical this could be 100-300 Mbps. -
Your mbfu is just fine then, I have mine set to 1.000.000 also.
powerD is useful for conserving power and trying to some some $$ or it could be used to use more power when needed for heavy usage. If you read the description it explains it pretty well.

I have powerd enabled on my C2758 system. Works perfectly.

with aes-ni, you may not really need this card

If you are using AES-NI together with IPSec VPN it could be, but the most
peoples are using it with OpenVPN! -

When we enable QuickAssist, you won't want it, because QAT is faster than this card.

Perhaps offtopic, but which Encryption algorithms uses the new chipset?
AES? AES256-GCM? -

Nice to hear from you about that! Really interesting, I am waiting for the QA implementation.

AES? AES256-GCM?Although AES-NI is specifically designed for AES-GCM it is my understanding that it can also provide acceleration for AES-CBC. I am not sure exactly what quick assist will accelerate, but pfSense does not support it yet anyway.
