Wireless card on MSI B350M
Posted: Fri Sep 14, 2018 05:18
I have a CyberpowerPC Ryzen system that uses an MSI B350M Bazooka board along with a ASUS 1060 gb graphics card.
In moving the PC to another room in the house I wanted to see about adding a wireless card to the system but looking at the motherboard and the graphics card it looks like one of the PCI-E connectors is blocked by the graphics card and the second one is pretty close to being blocked. Even if a small wireless card could plug in, one of the fans would be blocked.
How would the build end up if I had originally requested wifi connectivity? What should I use to get wireless now? USB? I never see the fans running on the card so maybe plugging in the wifi card would not harm anything.
Looking for ideas.
Thanks
