I've bought a graphics card (Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Gaming OC LHR (12 GB)) that I don't have room for if I leave my Wifi 6 PCIe adapter in its slot.

Is it correct to think that this cable will allow me to act as an "extension cable" between my PCIe 16x slot and my graphics card?

My motherboard is as follows: MSI A320M-A Pro Max.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Accepted Answer

Yes, this cable can be used as an extension cable between your PCIe 16x slot and your graphics card. It is designed to support graphics cards and allows for flexible installation, which could help you manage the space in your case. However, make sure that your MSI A320M-A Pro Max motherboard is configured to use the PCIe slot at 3.0 speed, as this cable does not support PCIe 4.0 speed.
