Question Wifi 6 mini PCIe card for MSI Nightblade B85C Desktop PC ?

Hi forum,

Does anyone know if my old (but still good performance) MSI Nightblade B85C Desktop PC supports WiFi 6 AX through a mini PCIe card? If so, which one should I buy? I notice there are several models with different slots / sockets ... Thank you

as long as you know how to route the antenna, and the adapter is not CNVi (a protocol that intel uses, only motherboard with cnvi enabled could use this card), then it should be fine.

Yes I know how route it, but how do I know if it uses CNVi protocol?

Thanks
