Comment on How do I fit a network card with a physical x4 slot into an x1 slot?

Yeah, I definitely wouldn’t recommend putting something power hungry like a GPU in one of these. A NIC will be fine though.

The ones on Amazon are intended to run GPUs for crypto farms, but they’re all brands you’ve never heard of with dubious claims and they’ve all got at least one review where either the device was defective or something was installed incorrectly and it caused damages.
