You don't need to "reduce the amps". You just have to figure out how to connect your RockPro because it uses a barrel plug. I had few "something to male molex" cable leftovers (can't remeber what exactly), cut one of them to pieces, soldered to 2 RockPros and run on ATX PSU. Couple of pics: https://imgur.com/a/fcHWcFn (note: the other end of +5V is insulated, it's not a self-destruct wire 
). Just don't do it yourself if you don't known what you're doing!
Few notes about that Delock controller: It seems to be PCIe 2.0 2x card so it'll have 1GB/s which is still more than enough to saturate gigabit ethernet. Delock's page (https://www.delock.de/produkte/G_89384/m...anguage=en) doesn't say much about controlles chipset but it looks a lot like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ableconn-PEX10-...B0177GBY0Y
That controller has ASMedia ASM1062 which provides two 6Gbit/s ports which are then split to 10 ports using two JMicron JMB575 multiplier chips. I haven't tried controllers with multiplier chips myself so please let me and others know how it works if you build this setup
