An x16 connector won't fit because the space where the pins would go is needed for the signal traces to the M.2 connectors. However, I think I can source an open-back connector...
Ok. Duck tape on the open connectors it is 😄
If you want it to look nice and professional, pick up some Kapton tape :)
On the prototype picture I see a x4 connector for the PCIe card.
Would it be possible to use a x16 connector with only x4 wired? The reason I'm asking is so we can easily use bigger cards using the same riser.
I know we can use an open-ended PCIe connector but those are harder to find for manufacture as they are not safer because leave the card connections "out".
I hope you consider the suggestion.
Thanks!
