asking about compability

[Enquiries]

hi,
im following your chanel since i started my home lab (one of the first channels tbh)
i have a x570 (hero maximus) with only the pcix1 slot left and i wanted to add 10gbe.
i saw the owc card but its not avaliablr for me, so i have to ask, is it possible to add adapter to m.2 (1pcie lane) and on it m.2 to 10gbe adapter, will i get the full 10gbe with that configuration?
thanks!

I also wonder that same thing

If that M.2 PCIe gen is fast enough, you can get 10GbE speeds. Here is each gen speed listed https://nascompares.com/answer/what-is-p...1-to-gen6/

Check the motherboard specs for the M.2 slot GEN version.
