I'm searching for a compact PCIe Thunderbolt 4 adapter. A lower-end option would work fine, like Thunderbolt 3. My setup includes a Hyte Y60 case that restricts me to only slim PCIe cards, except for the vertical slots for the GPU. I also have an Asus Prime X670E-Pro Wi-Fi board, which is decent but not powerful enough for a Thunderbolt card on the PCIe 4.0 port and lacks a TB_Header. I've noticed some cards that seemed promising but aren't fully compatible. For example, an HP model had a 2x6 pin header, while my board uses a 13-pin 2x7 layout—this appears to be tailored for HP workstations.

I also notice cards that lack an internal header, making it unclear if they function outside their intended machines https://www.qnap.com/en-us/product/qxp-t32p
