Posted May 28, 2020 You do need an asus board with a thunderbolt header. Gigabyte has something similar with their boards. #killedmywife #howtomakebombs #vgamasterrace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted May 28, 2020 Additional question here, would this work just like any built in Thunderbolt port or does it have some limitations? I assume it wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you need to pass it a display signal if you want that. Otherwise there maybe some.

Gigabyte also makes a card like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not do you have other recommendation? Your motherboard needs to have a Thunderbolt header on it. Just like you need a USB header to hook up the USB ports on the front of the case.
