    There are differences between the M2 slot and the network card slot. If I am not mistaken, the WiFi m.2 slots are E-key, meanwhile the m.2 for SSD or nvme drives are B-key or B+M-key. So you should check what type of connector uses your e-gpu.

    About fitting better cooling system, I don't know if that is possible since there are no mounting brackets on your motherboard.
