ok here is another upgrade question

if I go with the gigabyte board it doesnt have native thunderbolt/usb4 headers
so I would be sacrificing that

There are Pci-E cards that you can isntall but:....Question
most of these cards are only Pci-E 3/4 which maxes out, according to the internet at 32gbps
which would seem to truncate the 40gbps of the thunderbolt port...

or am I missing something?

For native Thunderbolt look at an Asus ROG board.
