Yes, you can insert a wireless network adapter into a PCIe X4 slot.
Hey everyone, I'm getting ready for my first PC build (still waiting on SSD and RAM). I ran into an issue while placing the motherboard (Gigabyte B450M DS3H) and GPU. I noticed it covers the PCIe X1 slot, which is meant for a wireless network adapter—since running a cable from the modem isn't an option for me, I'm stuck with the bottom PCIe X4 slot. My GPU doesn't fit there because it wouldn't fit properly or might damage the case. Now I'm wondering if I can still install the network adapter in the X4 slot and if any adjustments are needed for it to work. Thanks for your help! Damian
