In order for the card to work, there must be a Thunderbolt post (pinout?) on the MB. The two I have (GA-Z170X-UD5-TH, GA-Z170X-Designare) do not have these posts. No place to plug in the card. I believe the purpose of the card is to add TB3 to MB's that don't already support it. These particular MB's already do.
Can you please check on page 36 of the manual. What are they getting at then?
Edit: Check out the three images uploaded. It seems to show pin headers for it, and support.
So... as I said, I suspect it will work, and its been left out on the list as a mistake?
I think they said something on the lines of that the boards already have an alpine chipset on the boards already. but you can try, I just want to spend $80 to have something I cant use.
