Wireless adapter

[Unkindlysign81]

I have A b450M DS3H motherboard and am using a gtx 1060 6gb and I bought an asus PCE-AC55BT, the place I'm supposed to plug the wireless adapter into is blocked by the gpu, is there any way around it.

You can plug it into the lower PCIe 16x slot

Return the pci card and buy a usb wifi adapter

Just an option, the question was ways around the issue. This is a fairly easy work around especially if they are not familiar with pc components.

fair enough but it would be faster to just install it normally and not have to deal with return B.S.

Also fair, both are valid options, as long as you wont require the 16x slot for any other expansion cards in the future considering how this board only has the two 16x slots

I just thought that the wireless adapter would be to close to the graphics card and it would cause problems.

If the pci-e 1x slot is covered by the graphics card then you can use the 16x slot, or get a usb adapter if you have future planned use for the 16x slot .
