For Oculink 4x connexion on FL16, I use the [DEG1 from Minisforum](https://store.minisforum.com/products/minisforum-egpu-dock?srsltid=AfmBOoqfjnMtMDgS45bims4en8LhugP6FuMzLaqkruJC3aI06tsWtgqP). It is clean and comes with a cable (really good for the price but no usb-c though). I use it with a 4070Ti and enjoy it everyday ^^ ---

I think it really depends on what you will use it for. At my opinion you have these options: - USB4 egpu or adaptor like ADT-UT3G: Pcie 4x4 but no reverse power for framework - TB3/4 egpu or adaptor like TH3P4G3: Pcie 3x4 with reverse charging and usb ports for extra stuff (handy when you only want a single cable to plug in) - Oculink 8i kit for framework: Pcie 4x8 no reverse charging but displayport input for internal display (You dont waste bandwith on your pcie when using internal display over egpu) - Oculink 4i kit for framework: Pcie 4x4 no reverse charging but additional m2 slot - m2 to oculink adaptor: pcie 4x4 but why should you waste that slot if you can use your otherwise unused pcie connection. I personally look forward for the Oculink 8i kit to be released (not by framework itself [Thread](http://community.frame.work/t/oculink-expansion-bay-module)) since the TB3/4 is to slow i think, and If you already use one cable for charging and another one for egpu, why then dont take the fastest. It is to mention that removing an oculink egpu from a running system will most likely result on a bluescreen in windows ---

Hello, I am not very expert in these topics. Can’t connect directly to the usb or usbc port? ---

If you have an egpu with usb port, then you are fine without adaptors, the adaptors listed above are for use with a pcie gpu. ---

You may look at [https://egpu.io](https://egpu.io) if you dont know exactly what you need/want. ---
