Does the thunderbolt port support DP Alt Mode?

The Thunderbolt 4 port brings Thunderbolt to USB-C and supports features like 8K display support, which suggests it supports DP Alt Mode.

With the all the connectors in the back, are there any case compatibility issues to be aware of?

Yes, you'll want a case with passthroughs/cutouts for the bottom mounted connectors. I built mine with a Lian Li LANCOOL 217 which worked flawlessly with this motherboard.

What size is the motherboard?

The motherboard size is 243.84mm x 304.8mm.

Can I achieve a clean look with minimal cables using this motherboard?

Yes, the motherboard features a back-connect design that moves connectors to the back, providing a cleaner and neater appearance.
