Hi.
For the Maximus Z790 Extreme the specs in the "Front USB" section it says "1 x Thunderbolt™ 4 connector (supports USB Type-C®)". I know it also has a Thunderbolt port at the back/external but just a bit confused about this internal one.
Due to one of the Thunderbolt ports being listed in the manual's "Front USB" ports section, I thought it was a Thunderbolt Header to connect to a PC case's Thunderbolt USB-C port, not that there is any PC cases that I know of which support Thunderbolt front port, but noticed it's not a Thunderbolt header & instead just an internal normal USB-C Thunderbolt port.
So how is this port designed to be used? Just a USB-C cable sticking out of the case somewhere? I'm sure I'm missing something. Are there Thunderbolt devices that mount internally in PC cases maybe that I'm not aware of etc?
Thanks!
