AMD motherboard featuring DP input for docking and tb3 compatibility
The DP input is exclusive to the Aqua. Your Phantom Gaming board likely supports it if you have an APU. For Thunderbolt compatibility, you can purchase a Thunderbolt add-in card for many AM4 boards; I can assist in locating one that fits your budget and requirements. Another choice is to move away from Thunderbolt and use Type C connectors. Boards such as the Gigabyte B550 Vision D-P or X570S Aero G include a DP port, which works with Type C but may restrict IO performance and could cause issues with your existing cable, dock, or other peripherals.
Hi there, thanks for your message. I understand the compatibility concerns with motherboards and Thunderbolt cards when using Corning optical cables. For a reliable setup, I’d suggest looking into a standard USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Thunderbolt 3 compatible board that supports optical input. Regarding the DP cable, an HDMI to DP adapter with good signal quality would be best—something like a high-performance mini-DIN or Mini DisplayPort to DP converter is recommended. Since you mentioned trust issues, I’d avoid untested brands and focus on well-reviewed options. Let me know if you need more details!
