Thunderbolt expansion cards and M.2 NVMe drives compatible with ASRock x570 motherboards
Evaluating a new audio rig setup involves replacing your old 6700k LGA1151. You’re planning to connect Thunderbolt 2 gear through a TB2 card and pair a 5800x with an ASRock X570 TAICHI. For the expansion, you’ll need a TB3 card to keep things compatible with your existing hardware. You also intend to use an M.2 NVME drive as your boot device. Regarding Thunderbolt 3 compatibility, someone with experience confirmed that ASUS Thunderbolt EX 3-T and ASRock Thunderbolt AIC Express can work on X570 boards. You should be able to run both PCI lanes without conflict, as long as the cards are properly configured. Let me know if you need help with configuration steps!
