Is This some version of PCIe I don't know about? Trying to turn a System76 system into a desktop.

HI there!

 

Does anybody recognize this data form factor on this GPU? If so, is it adaptable to a AM4 motherboard?

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance!

I think it's a MXM III slot / module

That's how it's called here (but not sure if it's same system) : https://tech-docs.system76.com/models/bonw14/repairs.html#replacing-the-gpu

It looks like MXM. There are PCIe to MXM GPU adapters that exist, though the adapters and cooling solutions are a little sketchy, and realistically you're better off flipping the card and getting an actual GPU instead.

MXM board, adapter for it is a cool 699-1333$

First of all, thanks for the quick response! You guys rock!

You might be right about this...

 

My predicament is that I recently built a PC. I have the workstation laptop(serval ws12) from System76 which has served me well for the past two years since starting my career, but I don't want to have it around doing nothing. So I was thinking of turning it into a "console" configured with my TV in my apartment. But the thing is LOUD. So I figured why not turn it into a PC with proper cooling? The CPU is a desktop CPU, so that won't be a problem. I also looked up laptop ram adapters for desktop SLOTS, those are pretty inexpensive. So not a problem. But the GPU is the issue now I guess...
