The Thunderbolt card works with any motherboard that supports PCIe, regardless of brand. If you need alternatives, let me know!

I have never heard of a motherboard specific expansion card so you should be good.

If it's affordable, it could be a worthwhile upgrade for users on AMD systems

You require an ASUS board featuring a Thunderbolt port. Gigabyte offers comparable options in their products.

When you select the specifications section, it lists the compatible boards.

This functionality differs from standard Thunderbolt ports and likely has its own constraints.

You must send a signal to the screen to achieve this. Without it, there might not be any output. Thunderbolt works well on desktops but has limitations there.

They reinstated those parts on the z97 chipset. It seems they didn't collaborate with other boards afterward.

The device works only if it has a TB3 header attached. Gigabyte produces cards with this feature as well.

Your motherboard must include a Thunderbolt connector. It's similar to needing a USB port on the side of the case for connecting USB devices.
