Both impressive and surprising that thermals were the biggest barrier!

Meanwhile I'm sat here wishing I could justify running any ethernet in my apartment, but improving wi-fi tech means I never can...

I wonder what the idle vs at load difference is for power draw/heat. Would really love to see this feature in reviews some!

I wonder if you could negotiate down to 1gbit until you see some level of activity, if that would help at all?

I'm still eyeing 10Gb, but if my home needs +30w for three computers, I don't feel like it's really worth it. Would love to see more details on the power consumption from folks, especially tuning for idle.
