FAQ

Does this card work with Windows 7?

A driver is required for Windows 7, and it is not officially supported; we recommend using Windows 10 or newer for optimal performance.

Can both USB‑C ports achieve 10 Gbps simultaneously?

No, the two ports share the 8 Gbps PCIe 3.0 ×1 bandwidth, so simultaneous 10 Gbps speeds are not possible.

Is the card compatible with laptops?

The card is designed for desktop motherboards with an available PCIe ×1 slot; it cannot be installed in laptops.

What power adapters are needed for high‑power devices?

The card provides up to 5 V 2 A per port directly from the PCIe slot, eliminating the need for external power adapters for most peripherals.

How do I install the low‑profile bracket?

Remove the standard bracket, align the low‑profile bracket with the mounting holes, and secure it with the provided screws; the process takes only a few minutes.
