Asus Thunderbolt card with x99 boards.

I am going to preorder the HTV Vive on Monday, however I would like to run a Thunderbolt cable from my office into the room next door which has a larger open space, I have found (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00LOAX71O?keywords=thunderbolt%20card&qid=1456595487&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2) which would work perfectly, apart from it appears to only work on older z87 boards.

Yet people seem to be using on the x99 deluxe:

With the help of some kind of adapter, which I cant appear to find a name of or any where I can buy one, I've looked through the mass of cables I have and none seem to fit the connector on my motherboard.

 

Anyone know then name of the adapter or any way I can fix this issue/another card?

 

Thanks!

Hey did you find a card or adaptor in the end?  I'm really in need of this too... It seems odd that the faster performing x99 chips are being left behind in favor of the lesser powered skylakes...
