Discussing AMD and Apollo Twin MKII
Discussing AMD and Apollo Twin MKII
Hey there, I see you're trying to connect your Apollo Twin MKII to a PC setup. Let's figure this out together. You've used several Thunderbolt to USB-C adapters, downloaded drivers, and even watched YouTube tutorials, but it still isn't working. Since your motherboard lacks a Thunderbolt 3 port, and no compatible boards or PCIe cards are available, you might need to explore alternative solutions like using a different USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter or checking for newer motherboards that support Thunderbolt 3. Have you considered reaching out to the manufacturer's support for specific guidance?
It doesn't function because USB C isn't Thunderbolt. You can connect a USB C device to a Thunderbolt port, but not vice versa. Unfortunately, the Apollo Twin isn't compatible with your PC. The Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming Mini ITX is the only AMD board I'm aware of that supports TB3. https://www.amazon.com/X570-Phantom-Gami...B07VXYYG7F Some understand this, others don't—Thunderbolt originated from Intel (with Apple) and only recently allowed AMD to use TB. Probably because USB 4 is near, closely matching Thunderbolt 3. The Apollo Twin MkI offers similar performance and specs, so you might find someone willing to trade it. It's likely more affordable than a $350 motherboard with just one PCIe slot.
