Thunderbolt Add on Card for Gigabyte Aorus Master X570

[benjaminduk]

Hi,

 

Since there is no thunderbolt header for the Aorus Master, is there any other way I can connect a Tunderbolt device like the UAD Apollo Mk2 device to this motherboard? Either through an adapter (Thunderbolt 2 to USB C) or an add on card that will work.

Get a thunderbolt 3 add-in card. They cost like 60-100$ tho.

They do take up some PCIe lanes tho.

As long as its not a 1 way, that should be fine aswell

With most Mobo's you can't just put in the these add in cards wihtout the thunderbolt header being available on the motherboard. So you need these cards and the header unless I'm missing something.

I know I am Resurrecting a NECRO here But I just wanted to point out that the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master board DOES have a Thunderbolt Add-on card header. As seen on the right side of the image.

 

 

As well as this page showing the Titan card that supports this board

Jumping in on this even more necro thread, just to say that the Rev 1.0 of the X570 Aorus Master doesn't have the Thunderbolt header.
