Hi,
I know I’m a little late to this thread but hopefully someone can still help me out.
I built a Hackintosh in 2017 using Gigabyte Z170 HD3 + i7 6700k that I use for music production, pro tools etc.
I am finally able to buy a UAD Apollo Twin X Duo and am aware that I will need thunderbolt to connect it to my computer which my board doesn’t have natively (I could buy an alpine ridge etc but would rather not).
my question is does Thunderbolt 3 work over the USB C port on the I/O of this board?
You mention using a TB2 - TB3 Adapter in your build. Is that because you are using an older generation Apollo that uses TB2 or is it because TB3 is not supported?
I just want to know for certain that if I buy this board and follow this guide that I will be able to use the new Apollo Twin X that utilises thunderbolt 3 over USB-C out of the box with minimal faffing around?
Any insight would be great.
Thanks,
Tim
