Asking if anyone knows of any USB-C 10Gbe cards or Z390 mATX boards with 10Gbe onboard? Currently using a SPF+ pcie card, but looks like it will obstruct GPU cooling in a SFF case that I'm moving to.

Found this: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Thunderbolt-10GBase-T-Ethernet-Adapter/dp/B07GKD4ZCR/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=usb+c+to+ethernet+10gbps&qid=1561383232&s=gateway&sr=8-4 

 

BUT it requires that USB Type C to be Thunderbolt capable. Every "USB" Ethernet adapter I see is 1 Gbps only. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.

Looks like Sonnet has one that outputs to RJ45 as well as one that is SFP+. A bit pricey but decent reviews.

But the OP has to figure out if the Type C port is just USB or Thunderbolt. All the options seem to only support Thunderbolt.

There is a 5Gbit for USB-C but it seems almost impossible to get hold of. https://amzn.to/2Xu6VHG

 

As mentioned, I don't think 10Gbit has been attempted outside of Thunderbolt as 10Gbit USB with power delivery would be required and frankly thunderbolt is more common than that.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) + GL.iNet GL-X3000/ Spitz AX WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)

All Z390 micro ATX motherboard USB C seems to be USB 3.1 Gen 2 unfortunately

SPF+ is nice, since that's what my ISP provides. But I can convert to 10GBASE-T on RJ45 also. Main thing is I'm having trouble finding a mATX Z390 board with thunderbolt as well :/

I guess my best option might be to use a PCIE extension to get my SPF card outside of the case.
