I recently built my first pc and I want thunderbolt usb ports, I wanna get the ASUS ThunderboltEx to go with my ASUS ROG STRIX B550-F GAMING but im still kinda confused on how it works. Does it make all the usb ports in the Rear IO thunderbolt usb ports or smth?

Only the ports on the thunderbolt card will have thunderbolt, all others will be unaffected.

Use a Thunderbolt dock (hub) if you needed multiple ports or a Thunderbolt 3 to usb type a adapter for a single port.
