Untill today, I used my camera with SD card only, no issues at all.
I installed first time CFx card into my camera today, this card was previously used in my z7II with no issues.
I freshly formated it, and I played little bit with 24-200mm for the first time.
After about 20 shots, camera showed an error with that card.
I pulled it out, and I felt it was pretty warm.
I put it back, still didn't work.
After few times in and out, it started to work again.
I tried to create problem again, and I couldn't, even with taking some video shoots.
I'm going on vacation tomorrow, and this makes me worried, if I should use that slot at all.
Anyone else had similar issues?

Use a different card. This one might have heat issues - specific * on the list of supported Z8 cards: 'Recording at high temperatures may end before maximum length or size is reached, even if camera temperature does not rise'.

I'll be using it mostly for landscapes in slow pace, that's why I didn't rush to go for new card, especially it worked well.
So, that must be it, thanks for replys!

Tbh after Lexar got acquired by Longsys in 2017 I steered clear from that brand.
I had issues with Lexar SD cards in Fuji xt3, but they were not listed by Fuji.
So, I ended up buying SanDisk 300speed cards, and they worked like charm.
I wouldn't buy this CFx card, with that kind of experience, if it's not listed for
z7II by Nikon.
Then I checked Z8, and it's on that list too.
I'll get better card, what else..

I have a couple of Lexar 128GB CFE cards, the gold 1750 mb/s one. They work ok on my Z7 ii, Z9 and Z8 and no overheating issue during normal shooting yet but it certainly runs hotter than the rest of CFE cards that I own.

Can I make a suggestion? When referring to certain cards running "hot" there are a few info things that should be added for usage state:
- camera body
- image format
- frame rate settings and your use scenario
- still shooting or video mode
- did you get the hot card alert
CFx cards do run "warm" normally due to throughput. There does seem to be a wide varience across the spectrum of brands including those even on the "approved" list. This just helps those who are making decisions on what to go with.
addendum: when looking into cards for high performance use products one of the most important "specs"- Minimum Sustained Write Speed should be "found" in said data. finding it can be the challenge and is generally a red flag if its not for use with these cameras as they have a less then consistent throughput and throttle when trying to pump large files at rates for continuous use and temp rise.
ref examples:
Delkin Black
75GB 650GB
1725 MB/s Max Read
1240 1530 MB/s Min Sustained Write*
Delkin New Power G4
Max Transfer Speed: Up to 1780 MB/s
Max Write Speed: Up to 1700 MB/s

FWIW this is the most up to date graph at the SSD review site showing temps of different CFExpress cards:
As you can see, the older Lexar are the hottest running cards out there. The newer Pro Diamond ones are better. Even this latest 2TB Lexar Gold they tested is much better than the lower capacity Lexar Golds.
Also interesting to note that it can vary significantly between size of card in the same line. Compare Delkin Power 128GB (2nd best) to the 256GB which is running 11C hotter.

Thanks for posting this. So much for my liking the SanDisk Extreme. I wonder how the Sony cards fare in the tests. Sony is one of the cards recommended and tested by Nikon for the Z8, but then again, so is the Sandisk. At least our hands would be warm in cold weather.
I spoke with Nikon yesterday and they were very matter of fact that they do not recommend the Delkin Black, which has been my favorite.

Nikon talking out of their ass. Tested as the coolest running card of all of them.

yes they are capable under certain use conditions.
i use the DB cards (4 150GB). "Essentially unlimited buffering capacity" is a true statement when used in HE* (which i use 90% of the time) combined with at 20fps (much less used/needed). using Lossless compressed it will put clean output into the mid-high 80's shot count before it starts to skip and sputter at 20fps. on my card size HE* is ~ 4.1K shots and ~8.2K in overflow. that is much more than i need for average work-related shooting. HE* maintains a 14bit depth.
yes, Nikon does market a single model CFx card with their name on it. pretty much irrelevant but shows support for the product. there's always room for the fanatic purchase.

Is this a good card for Z8? Looks too good to be true. Amazon sells same card (slightly different manufacturer name) for 400. This costs only 140 for 256gb card
Amazon name = SDCFE-256G-GN4IN
B&H name = SDCFE-256G-ANCNN
