New Mini ITX build

The power supply is proving to be the biggest issue so far. I want something fully modular, can fit in my case (max 160mm), white and between 500w-750w. Found one that fits all of those but is too long. Found another that fits all but is only bronze rated.

For your wireless/BT card and adapter, see neilhart's post > https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/...aming-wifi-and-bt.191274/page-10#post-1577416

I ended up purchasing BCM94360CD which has four connections for antennas. Not only do the antennas connectors on this mobo not fit the broadcom chip, there's also only two of them. I looked at your iMac WiFi/BT4 miniPCIe card link in your sig and it looks like you purchased some antennas that will work and just had them hanging out the back of your computer. Will these fit the broadcom card? They're for a mini pcie card like the braodcom one.
 
sumsaykra-z, They probably will. I say this because, as you found out, there are different size connectors. I am surprised that Gigabyte motherboard connectors didn't fit the Broadcom card. So, as long as you have return rights, press on and pick the antennas that suit your installation.

Good Luck! :thumbup:

Yes it will work with the M.2 adapter which your motherboard requires. (Note: I did look up your motherboard, and the WiFi/BT is using a M.2 slot. However, you're using two adapters to get the Broadcom card to work. I'd look for a Broadcom card with an M.2 adapter.

Maybe something like this:

So one is the adapter and the other is the card? Can I buy these together or do they only come seperate?

Sorry. I didn't get notificed about this post. These two particular ones I've only found separately. Work like a charm. Fully functional wifi and bt. Everything works, i.e. handoff, airdrop, etc. It requires 4 antennas though. I bought separate antennas for my build. Super fast speeds too.

I just purchased these m.2 adapter and the broadcom card. Are there any instructions on how to install these on the motherboard?
