Hello! I'm trying to configure my desktop using SLI but noticed that all my PCIe slots are being covered. Instead of a PCIe adapter, I was thinking about using the M.2 part of my existing Wi-Fi adapter in an M.2 slot and connecting the antenna. Would this still function with my system since I only have open M.2 slots?

Many M.2 Wi-Fi adapters require unique buttons compared to the standard storage M.2 ports found on most boards. Just opt for a USB Wi-Fi adapter instead.
