Ordered a GA-Z87X-UD3H motherboard. Kind of disappointed there's no thunderbolt port. Will the Asus ThunderboltEX 2 would not work with this board, and if not is there any way to get thunderbolt on this board? I don't need the port immediately, nor do I know if I ever really will (its for a music studio setup, so depends on what gear I buy in the future), but it would be a nice feature to have. Should I bother sending it back if its not compatible and pick up a board that has said port?

The asus thunderbolt ex 2 is currently only supported by select Asus motherboards. If you would like to use thunderbolt / 2 i suggest you buy a motherboard that supports it. The motherboard that currently supports and is certified for it is the ASUS Z87-Pro.
