The PROBLEM:

You want more PCIe Ports for Fitment of Expansion Adapters

(Wifi Card, 10GbE NIC, NVMe Storage, SATA Ports, 19/20Pin Ports, SATA/SAS HBA, USB 3.0, USB 3.1, USB Type C, to name a few).

You have no more spare PCIe Ports.
You become sad because you can't gain any more functionality from your motherboard.

The SOLUTION:

Clickbait brought you to this video for a reason! In this video you will:
1) Discover several PCIe adapters that you could use in your PC/Workstation
2) Find a method for using PCIe Slots Underneath your GPU!
3) Discover any potential problems with this method
4) End-Solution allows fitment of that extra PCIe adapter you didn't have space for before!
