Hi, I installed the M.2 XPG SX8200 but my PCIe Wi-Fi card stopped working. I have two PCIe slots—one for the GPU and one for the Wi-Fi card (MSI b150 Mortar Arctic). Moving it around isn’t possible. I’m not sure if powerline, USB adapters, or Ethernet would help. Any ideas?

There are four PCI slots available. The lower one is disabled, so connect the GPU with PCI_E1 and the Wi-Fi card using PCI_E2.

Is it possible to upgrade to a different GPU or install a PCIe riser? Your setup used a small TP Link USB connector about the size of a finger, and it functioned well even when far from the router, depending on distance. The E2 slot will cover any GPU beyond two slots.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m sorry about the delay in the research. The Wi-Fi card should be manageable. Appreciate your understanding! (again)

His video card appears in his signature and fits in two slot sizes; it should still work, just a little more than two slots.

Yes, it could affect the GPU fans.
