Looks like the gap left would be sufficient to install a dedicated Thunderbolt 3 add in PCIE card for use with an external graphics card enclosure.The only ITX boards that i have seen with an on board thunderbolt 3 ports are the Asrock Fatal1ty Z270 & Z370 but the ports on these only operate at 2x lanes. The use of an suitable add in card (GIGABYTE GC-ALPINE RIDGE) would allow 4x lane support for an external graphics card enclosure.So an LZ7 coupled up with an external 1080Ti, could be interesting. I wonder how this would perform in comparison to the direct slot install of a Gigabyte 1080 mini ITX ?
