so i have this Mini PC (Trigkey S5 with an 5800h) and a RTX 4060ti laying around and i want to combine these two together with an AOOSTAR AG01 EGPU Dock with an OCulink Port the thing is the mini PC does not have a oculink port. But it has two m.2 slots and one slot for a 2,5 sata drive
i need one m.2 for the wifi card
what if i get a m.2 to oculink and a m.2 to SATA adapter (i will send pics)
the wifi card stays where it is the oculink adapter goes into the second m.2 slot
my ssd goes in the m.2 to SATA adapter
the thing is i need to drill a hole with a dremel for the oculink cable to get out of the minipc case
would this even work or is this a bad idea?

I can see so many ways this can go wrong and become an endless source of aggravation, you have to have faith in everything being wired up correctly with no driver issues and even then you're probably gonna cut down your PCIe lanes to x4 2.0 speeds which probably won't be noticable on a 4060ti but won't all that stuff introduce latency?

because as of late, GPUs don't seem to lose their value and someone else will buy it for what you paid for it, don't you already have a nice gaming PC with a better gpu?
this is throwing good money after bad

I mean, maybe it could work, you'd give up wifi and use that m.2 slot which MIGHT have some PCIe lanes exposed and you'd connect to this via oculink.

You have to trust that the bios even supports running a GPU over the PCIe lanes, a lot of times, small PC manufacturers will cheap out on stuff like this, or make PCIe lanes go two way on budget motherboards, if you use one slot, it takes lanes away from a second less important slot, everything is telling me this won't work without even trying.
