Hi guys I have a micro atx build so room is tight I have just got a r9 280x gpu and ita now blocking my pci-e express a lot resulting in WiFi card no longer fitting.

My question is can I use WiFi card in PCI x16 slot in other words second gpu slot. I have seen in done on forums and youtube my worry is will it affect anything and slow gpu to x8 because it may think I using the slot?

Hope that makes sense just wondering if anyone has done this it does fit but don't want affect my 280x performance
 
this is the result after render test putting load says its running at its recommended speed seems to be no limits by putting wifi card in pci x16 slot

but after stopping test it goes to this is that just because card is idle?
