UPDATE: I just scrolled down in this forum a few posts and found this http://amzn.com/B0160ITSSU link to a T-Bolt 3 mobo. Skylake looks like a bit of a horrorshow to Hackintosh, but not impossible. Anyone who has info about the USB 3.1 to Thunderbolt compatibility please post it here.

I want to upgrade from my Z77X-UP5 TH Gigabyte motherboard to a Z97 or better but Thunderbolt equipped mobos are rare and seemingly extinct animals these days. I know USB 3.1 will be the "new" high speed interface but I have several Thunderbolt devices I am using on my system that need the Thunderbolt connection to work.
I see from reading online that USB 3.1 will eventually carry Thunderbolt signals to Thunderbolt devices but it doesn't look like that's been implemented yet - but I could be wrong about that.
Wondering if there's any advice on this subject.
