I have a pc with following specs and I would like to install an Intel M.2 wifi module (Intel® Wireless-AC 9560)

So the first question, is it compatible?
Secondly will it negatively effect the performance of my pc?
As I heard using m.2 can disable sli or some other pcie lane or some components of the motherboard


Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7 Six Core Processor i7-5820K (3.3GHz) 15MB Cache

Motherboard: ASUS X99-S: ATX, HSW-E CPU, USB 3.0, SATA 6 GB/s

Motherboard has M.2 X4 bracket that assists in securing a SSD card perpendicular to the motherboard and:
1 x M.2 Socket 3, with vertical M Key design, type 2242/2260/2280 storage devices support (Support PCIE SSD only)

The Intel 9560NGW
Connector Interface: NGFF Key E (M2:CNVio)
Module requires a M.2 2230 connector that supports Intel CNVi.

Even though you can insert these CRF to a standard M.2 Key E socket, they are only compatible with a system designed with the CNVi which you don't have. Does that answer your question?

If not, maybe you can see the difference between the E Key of the 9560NGW and the M key of the motherboard.
