Board with dual rear USB-C ports
Are there any motherboards featuring more than one USB-C port on the rear I/O area, especially those supporting Thunderbolt 4? This could really simplify your setup.
Consider ASUS ThunderboltEX 4 via add-in card. Familiar TB4 boards include MSI MEG Z590I Unify Mini-ITX Gaming Board (2 USB-C) ASUS ProArt B550-Creator Ryzen 5000/3000 Board (Dual Type C Dual TB4) GIGABYTE Z590 Vision D MSI MEG Z590 Unify Gaming ROG Maximus XIII Hero ATX Gaming GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS Xtreme Gaming ROG Strix Z590-I with WiFi 6E.
Considering the current pricing, you'd likely pay comparable amounts for both a 12th and 11th generation board with either high-end or mid-range options. The B550 offers significant savings, which is beneficial. However, it's advisable to steer clear of the Z590 unless its price drops substantially.
