How to place GPU in 3rd PCI-e X16 lenght slot

[J05u]

Hello, i really need to place a 2-slot GPU into my motherboards 3rd slot

It can be ITX GPU, but i don't have enough clearance between front panel connectors and GPU heatsink

Probably i need to buy some adapters, but can't find them. I am ok to lost front usb3, so this is a less than issue. But i really need to keep at least usb 2 connected.

Probably i posted in wrong place, but i am not sure where to go with this issue

Why wont a single slot card do?

USB2, fans/rgb typically are low enough that they fit below the card's cooler, but you'll lose the thick USB3/USB-C.

 

I mean there's no miracle, either it fits or you have to choose between going with a single slot card or replace mobo with full ATX or something that has the connector on the "front" edge.

there is not much card powerful enough to handle 4k

But why do you want it in the 3rd slot? Unless you have 2 GPUs that makes no sense, you would always want the main GPU in the first slot.

If it's for 4K games, I see no reason why you wont use the slots up top for it.

 

If it only has to display 4K, a single slot 1030 will do

I tried GT710, and this was a horrible experience, and 1030 not much stronger

 

I have option to use GPU on top slot, but in this case my 2080ti will work in x8. 

I prefer to put RX5600 or 5700 in gen4 x4 slot, should be no performance drop

if you have a 2080ti, why isnt that powering the 4K display?
