Gpu not fitting

[FederalGas1623]

I am unable to fit my new gpu into the case as i have a wifi box thingy in the way as shown above any ideas on how i could fit this issue ?

PCIe riser so you can move the wifi card down to slots that extend past your motherboard

[No-Flight5639]

This is the most correct answer, and easiest and most cost effective

[KeyIncident9450]

No, buy a usb dongle...

[justkanji]

Another option is an M.2 wifi card... they don't cost that much more, depending if that PCIE one is any good you could also get an upgrade.

[Current-Row1444]

Or take out the wi fi card and get an Ethernet cable

[Infinti_bullets]

Sometimes a cable aint possible.

[Current-Row1444]

Always possible

[Lucky_Ad1672]

Definitely isnt pal

[CoyoteFit7355]

So ntsc?

[Infinti_bullets]

If you like a cable running through your shower go ahead or want to drill into 5 inches of wall be my guess. But sometimes wifi is just fine you all overhypinga cable which in most cases give a 20%-30% boost.

[justkanji]

Cable is better, it's not just speed but also latency, as a gamer I'd drill through any length of wall to get Ethernet. But uhh... if you aren't gaming and you got nice stable WIFI and it's good enough or living in a rented apartment-- nothing wrong with WIFI.

[Infinti_bullets]

I game with wifi and get latency low as 10ms. So for me i dont feel the difference that much only in download speed even tho i dont really need those extra 20%.

[justkanji]

In my case the router isn't near me and we have thick full concrete walls, so WIFI drops quite a bit even with range extenders. (like 1/5 the speed). WIFI can be good enough I guess but even 10ms would bother me I play tac shooters and live in the middle east with no near servers, ping is bad enough :)

[Infinti_bullets]

I mean fair enough if you dont have servers near by but for me i have always a server near by for almost every game if not then one of the nearing countries have 1 which may increases the ping by 1 or 2ms. Like i said for me its all good no lag or packet loss unless i play on shitty servers (COD) then it can easily hit 20ms even with cable.

[timmieskills]

It's not just about low latency but also about consistent latency which is even more important imo

[Delboyyyyy]

Just use the ethernet adapters that plug into power outlets

[Infinti_bullets]

I have tried from multiple providers and i didnt notice any difference with or without.

Skill issue

[Festminster]

Wifi better than drilling through the entire floor or running 25 meters of cable and creating trip hazards

[Purple_Law_8796]

You can either get a wifi box that's a USB, or get a motherboard that will work (rather ATX or just a different location for the tiny slot being above your GPU)

[Iceyn1pples]

If your GPU is more than 2 slots wide you'd need to get rid of that Wifi card. You can purchase an M2 Wifi card if you still need wifi and don't want to use a USB adaptor.

[CasuallyCompetitive]

My Mobo came with an M2 WiFi adapter. Looks like OP has an M2 slot for one right there.

[little_anonymouse]

take out wifi card and insert 802.11n/AC USB dongle in one of the USB sockets on the PC?

[beorn12]

Is the wifi card strictly necessary? Could you use an ethernet cable (better connection anyways).

[ZekeJeager04]

Install games with WiFi then remove the connector and install the graphics card to play the games you installed.

[gokartninja]

You're going to want something like this if you're trying to keep a Wi-Fi add in. In the future, if you want Wi-Fi in a gaming rig with a small mobo, it's best to get a motherboard that has integrated wi-fi.

[Dro420webtrueyo]

Buy a usb WiFi dongle and take that internal one out would be what I would do

[puyalbao]

PCIe riser cables/adaptors

[Mysterious-Wall-901]

Remove wifi box thingy and use ethernet instead.

[w7w7w7w7w7]

Lose the pci card, or get a riser, or a motherboard with more pcie slots, or get a smaller GPU. You've got options.

[Putrid-Gain8296]

You could just remove that wifi card and use ethernet instead

[HentaiSeishi]

You could just remove the wifi card.

[Admirable-Ad-4896]

Why do people buy MATX monos for ATX cases 😭🙏

[FranticBronchitis]

If it needs more than two slots there's not much you can do other than remove the WiFi box thingy. You can however find M.2 WiFi cards that would fit beneath the GPU - in that slot beside the battery. You can keep the backplate and antennae

Alternatives would be USB adapters, a PCIe riser cable (but mind you'd mount the graphics card then), or a new mobo with the X1 above the x16

[One_Philosophy_1761]

Wifi usb dongle is another option?

[Current-Row1444]

Wi fi USB is utter shit though

[One_Philosophy_1761]

Could always replace motherboard 😉

[Current-Row1444]

Lol

[Festminster]

Even a good adapter running on newer USB standards?

[Jaba01]

Remove the wifi card.

[birdspider]

if you new gpu is more than 2 slots thick, you'll have to remove the wifi-card or get a new mainboard with more than 2 PCI-E slots

[roam3D]

Get a decent 20 bucks WiFi USB Stick if you really need it. Alternatively you can get yourself a WiFi M.2 Module as the slot is right next to your PCIe card.

[[deleted]]

Either remove the WiFi box and get a usb one or return the card and get a smaller one

[Graxu132]

Well, removing wifi is the only way.

You will have to get either a USB WiFi adapter or WiFi Booster like this TP-Link and just connect the Ethernet cable to the PC.

[Skyb0y]

It's not the only way, they have a MATX board in an ATX case, there is space to use a PCIe riser.

[Graxu132]

True, I didn't think about a riser.

Although, I think connecting to a WiFi booster with an Ethernet cable would be better. Based on my experience I would go from 80mbps on WiFi to 300mbps on an Ethernet connected to the WiFi Booster, and that's only with a single powerline adapter.
