Can I move my WLAN card to make room for GPU (pics later)

vhn1 · Jan 15, 2014

Hello, I'm trying to replace my old low profile card with a 660 and a modular power supply. However, I just noticed this small card above my current gt 240 that will hinder any larger profile card.

According to the product number, it is this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008H67RAU

My computer model is this:

It shouldnt hinder it at all, as even with a backplate, a card typically will not interfere with the slot above (assuming it is no wider than the pci slot, which it isnt) so you really don't even have to do anything besides switch your graphics cards

I forgot to mention, the WLAN card is less than an inch above my gt 240, so I think an upgrade to a bigger card would be a serious issue. Is there a way to maintain my wireless connection if I get rid of this WLAN card?

A very vague question, but if you use wifi to get internet, you can't do too much. Maybe you should get a USB wifi stick. In the case that you use ethernet, you're in luck. Pop out the wifi card and put the 660 in.

graphics cards do not increase in size upwards above the slot...simple as that

Okay, I read the question wrong, you said above. Yeah, these guys are right, you'll be fine.
