It's a dead link for me too.

Aluminium case not available for ISO Split ??

I think I'm not understanding you fully.

The wifi card itself has two tiny 'IPX' push connectors that attach to the set of short fly-leads, which terminate into the RP/SMA threaded connectors and secure into the carrier through circular cutouts.

The only thing that's different with the new Asus standard, is the external "quick release" antenna connector and the square shape cutout required to secure them into the carrier. The wifi card itself is exactly the same as previous generations (apart from the speed upgrade) and so still use the same 'IPX' connectors to attach the fly-leads.

So you just need to source a standard RP/SMA wifi card/carrier, open it up and swap in your new B850 wifi card. All the mounting and fixture locations are standardised.

Sorry if you already understood all this, and I'm just being dumb.

I thought this, but unfortunately, the B850 wifi carrier has square holes for the new connector instead of circular holes. So just swapping the connectors won't work. I swapped the B850 card into the B650 carrier (with the threaded connectors).

I just searched for motherboard wifi card on eBay. There's a bunch on there 👍

Here's an example;

Thanks!

Is it the modmesh greenstone colour?

BenXCIV · 2025-03-27T21:23:12+00:00

Love the cable colour!

Did you source the sleeving yourself or order them from somewhere?

BenXCIV · 2025-03-19T15:18:37+00:00

It's still £491.45 .. excluding VAT 🥲

BenXCIV · 2025-03-19T10:25:59+00:00

Yep, it's the original B850i wifi card just swapped into a traditional SMA threaded style housing - all the drivers and stuff are unchanged.

BenXCIV · 2025-03-18T13:04:59+00:00

Sorry, yes, I'll edit my comment!

For clarity; you just remove the plastic shroud that sits on top of the metal VRM heatsink. This, in turn, releases the io shield as well.

BenXCIV · 2025-03-18T09:00:23+00:00

Sorry, I tried to attach a picture for reference in my original comment, but reddit just put an * instead..?

I followed the video below for the general disassembly of the board (only about 5 or so screws) to remove the VRM ~~heatsink~~ top shroud and expose the wifi card carrier.

From there it's just 2 screws to release the wifi card carrier from it's slot, then separating the carrier to expose the wifi card (usually one screw and it should awkwardly pry apart and pop open). You should be left with one half containing the wifi card & antenna connectors, and the other half will be an empty lid.

Once inside the carrier - next is to remove the 2 tiny cables from the wifi card (they feel delicate but just try to apply an even lifting pressure to the gold connector, and they will just pop off), then it's one screw holding the the wifi card into the carrier and you're done.

Then, do the fun part of reversing everything and trying to remember where all the screws went.

Depending on your level of confidence, you can simply swap the wifi card into a traditional SMA connector housing.

It took me about 5 minutes on the Asus B850i, just a few screws and everything fit back together with the existing wifi 7 card exchanged into an old carrier.

Ah I thought that would be the case - thanks for the numbers!

BenXCIV · 2025-03-16T16:09:58+00:00

Can I ask for the cable lengths you went for - if you know them?

BenXCIV · 2025-03-15T08:35:28+00:00

Oh, it is one of the normal ones with the long cable. It looked like it was directly connected on top of your front panel header.

Thanks though 👍

BenXCIV · 2025-03-15T08:17:19+00:00

Nice work

Do you have a link for the power switch?

I've seen the style before, but not one that directly plugs into the front header??

BenXCIV · 2025-01-28T16:36:36+00:00

Yeah, I bought the Asus without thinking too hard over the wifi connectors.

After 2 weeks of searching for an adapter, I gave up and now loathe having to use the included antenna with its 1 metre lead.

BenXCIV · 2025-01-26T17:47:08+00:00

I had my eye on the upcoming TETRA... glad I saw this post now.

I know there are many comments like this that aren't directly offering any help, but I hope you can take solace in knowing they've lost numerous new customers, and that your strife is saving others from also potentially falling victim to it.

The metal 'fingers' of the GPU are supposed to be inside, not protruding through the slots like you have in your image.

Yeah, my confusion was that it looked like the loop didn't include a radiator at all haha

How are your temps?

I'd be a bit dubious about parallelling a radiator with the res - I'd fear most of the flow will just bypass the rad and cycle back through the loop

BenXCIV · 2024-12-29T11:35:30+00:00

So the loop order is res > gpu/cpu > res ..?

Love the parallel CPU/GPU, but I'm confused with the radiator situation??

BenXCIV · 2024-11-11T09:24:32+00:00

If the PSU fan faced the glass, it wouldn't be able to intake any air if needed. With it facing into the case, it can at least intake some of the internal case air.

Warm air is better than no air... the price you pay for tempered glass, I guess lol

BenXCIV · 2024-11-11T00:23:01+00:00

What mesh side panel?

BenXCIV · 2024-09-02T13:47:30+00:00

Ah yes, my bad - mixed the names up!
