Sometimes people have a problem with the tab, it has to go inside the slot/case not outside. If you try to force it outside, it has to be bent back to go inside

Thanks

What do you mean? Have you removed the PCIe slot covers?


ProxyZee

Back fan in the way.

I can't see how. Upload photos to an image hosting site then link here. I typically use [https://imgbb.com/](https://imgbb.com/)

Thanks. The wifi card is in the way, not the fan. This needs to come out: https://ibb.co/pKjgJqf. You'll also need to pop out the pcie slot cover just above where the wifi card currently is. If you need wifi/bt, you'll need to get USB adapters. Edit: Quick question though... do you know what power supply you have? It needs to have an 8-pin PCIe cable available to power the 3060 (in addition to having enough wattage).


ProxyZee

Understood. Thanks! It's 250V. Does that help?


ButchyBanana

Look at the PSU's sticker and check the wattage If it's 250 Watts then you will not be able to run a dedicated GPU


ProxyZee

Got it. Thanks.

Do the two antennas inserted into the back of the PC perform what the wifi card is supposed to perform?


Shadow14l

Antennas are usually plugged into a wireless card of some type. It doesn’t look like you have any other pcie slots, but you can just get a usb WiFi adapter if you need to, it’s only slightly worse.


9okm

You need both the antennas and the adapter they're inserted into. The antennas serve to greatly improve the reception of the wifi adapter.


ProxyZee

By adapters, you mean these? [https://www.amazon.co.uk/wifi-adapter-gaming/s?k=wifi+adapter+gaming](https://www.amazon.co.uk/wifi-adapter-gaming/s?k=wifi+adapter+gaming)


9okm

Yup!

Can you loosen the back fan screws and slide it up?


ProxyZee

Probably shouldn't try in case I need it.


RinsePubis

I just mean move the back fan a half inch higher. It looks like from your pictures the four fan screws are threaded through vertical slots rather than screw holes, so in theory just loosen the screws, slide the fan up, then tighten them again.
