TD2 Hardware Compatibility issue NEED HELP

[crisisacting]

So you tried this board before, workable right?
coz the computer staff told me they worried will not work. that's what really fucks me up. lol.
thanks thanks, i think imma go ahead with this board.

The board literally has an integrated Intel JHL8540 ThunderBolt 4 controller (this review shows it), so that staff are incorrect.

Just be aware (per the manual) that you cannot ever populate the bottom PCIe slot (PCIe 3.0 x16_3) as that shares its bandwidth with the ThunderBolt 4 controller.
