yes, it should fit aslong as the only expansion card you have is a graphics card.

 

[G0sta]

yes, I think so. I'm new to computers and I just built my first PC but I know I got one more "GPU holder" (PCIe?)

 

[Danbuscus25]

well, you have 1 pcie x16 slot for a gpu, and 1 pcie x4 slot, for things like a network card 😛

 

[G0sta]

at gigabytes website it says...

"1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)"

Do you still think it will work?(just want to be save)

 

[Danbuscus25]

yes, i looked it up, it will be fine.

It didn't fit... What whent wrong?

 

[Danbuscus25]

well, you onlt have 1 graphics card, right? your mobo shows that is has 1 pcie x16 3.0 slot which is what your graphics card is in, and it also has 1 pcie x4 3.0 slot, which will fit the wifi adapter you got.

The "splitter" in the PCIe3.0 is to wide for the gap in the networkadapter.
I can see the marking on the motherboard(PCIe 3.0) but it just doesn't fit;(

it should work just fine....
