Hi! For your AMD System focused on audio production, the compatibility of Thunderbolt 3 with your Asus Zenith II Extreme Alpha and a Threadripper 3960x is generally solid. The Gigabyte GC-Titan Ridge card should work well, though some users report mixed experiences. There aren't many documented issues in audio setups, but since Intel has traditionally led in Thunderbolt solutions, you might find fewer real-world challenges. Let me know if you need more details!

No match found. The device lacks the necessary MMO header for proper operation. Use the Aorus board which supports TB.

Oh, interesting, so even with USB-C or with a PICe Card with Thunderbolt 3, Thunderbolt 3 devices won't work to 100%? At the device`s company side I am speaking of they are writing - "Windows computer with integrated Thunderbolt 3 via USB-C". So I am a bit confused.

It won't function at all, not even close. The Aorus board is uniquely designed for Thunderbolt 3, and both the Aorus add-in card and ASRock models are compatible because they align with the specific hardware requirements of that chipset, which was built for AMD sockets.

I haven't reviewed them yet, but I'd consider the Gigabyte X40 Designare. It supports Thunderbolt and has PCIe Gen4. Are the other boards you're talking about meeting those specs too? Thanks for the feedback!

Many Aorus TRX40 boards lack a Thunderbolt 3 port or header, according to my findings. It would be useful to clarify which models you're talking about!

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out! Unfortunately, the motherboard I’m looking for is the Gigabyte TRX40 Designare, which isn’t listed there. However, the Gigabyte site mentions that rev. 1.1 of the Designare includes a "bundled GC-Titan Ridge Add-In Card," which should work just fine. Apologies for the delayed reply!
