I'd like to add a 10Gb NIC to my main desktop. The motherboard is an EVGA z370 micro in a micro ATX chassis (4 I/O exp slots). My GPU takes more than 2 slots and obstructs the second x16 slot. but I do have a 3.0 x4 slot in the bottom slot. x4 should be enough to run a single 10Gb link (I only need 1), even at PCIe 2.0.
I've been searching but can't seem to find any 10Gb SFP+ NICs with a x4 interface. all seem to be x8. I found an ASUS x4 NIC, but it's 10G-baseT, not SFP+.
I do NOT want to modify the slot by cutting the end open.
