i5 NUC and GTX980

Okay so here's the idea: I have a NUC5i5RYK laying around and my GTX980 from my main mATX build.

The NUC has an m.2 port which can provide up to x4 pcie lanes which in theory should be plenty, even for the GTX980.

I got an http://www.amazon.com/Bplus-Adapter-Socket-PCeI-base-dimension/dp/B00T8ULDPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434456630&sr=8-1&keywords=ngff+pcie+x4" target="_blank">m.2 to PCIe x4 adapter and a http://www.amazon.com/Micro-SATA-Cables-Express-Female/dp/B00CJE0KJ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1434456723&sr=8-1&keywords=pcie+x4+x16" target="_blank">PCIe x4 to x16 riser.

Since the m.2 slot will be used for the GPU and I can't seem to find the tiny 5-pin to sata power cable for the NUC, I'll try installing Windows on a USB drive and hope for the best.

In theory, this could end up being a

Thoughts?

hey Tech Inferno Fan,

 

I am new to the forum and I signed up myself because of this topic. It is awesome that you got a gtx980 to work on a m.2 pcie x4 port. I am very interested in this solution because I own a new MSI GE72-6QF (Skylake) which has one m.2 pcie gen 3.0 x4 (nvme) port which offers in theory 32gb/s bandwidth (same like thunderbolt 3). At the moment there is no adapter for m.2 pcie 3.0 x4 to pcie 3.0 x4 available but I think they will come out in the near future. So I want to start with a gen2 implementation via m.2 and later a gen3.

 

What do i need for an implementation? I already have a modular be quiet 530w psu and a adapter/converter (m.2 to pcie x4 gen2).

 

regards

Edit 2: I ordered a pcie x16 to pcie x4 riser cable and will try a simple implementation like you.
