    Thunderbolt 3 builds - current status?

    You DEFINITELY need to activate your thunderbolt device in windows using the appropriate tool. I have a Z97-deluxe with thunderboltex3 and I am using a apple cinema display via the thunderbolt card with a discreete video card. All work beautifully. Assemble system update bios log in windows...

    Coffee Lake Thunderbolt Build Advise?

    So if you want to use a proper graphics card, but use thunderbolt, there is 1 single option you have: A motherboard that can take this card: https://www.asus.com/uk/Motherboard-Accessory/ThunderboltEX-3/ eg. a compatible Asus mobo.

    Everything works on the monitor including ethernet, etc. BUT There is an apple bug that will sometimes cause the USB hub and camera and mike to crash - so you need to restart by turning your pc off - in mac. Otherwise no drivers needed - other than the ones for the card in windows... Windows...

    Hmm... this isn't a spec specific problem - sounds more like a UniBeast issue. What it's telling you is that it can't modify config.plist for some reason (eg. it doesn't exist, not there, etc. ) Check the forums on UniBeast and this specific error... Sorry I can't help you on this one...

    Asus Z97-Deluxe

    Actually I think that's what I might do... :) Good thinking.. Install Cap - tweak it to perfection - migration it's ass across... Only trouble is, my 250gig SSD is my current boot drive and I've got a mechanical backup 1tb... oh well..

    Asus Z97-Deluxe

    I know what you mean Wild - good advice mate. Getting a second drive for backup.. In the meanwhile I've discovered from conversations that ASMEDIA USB should be disabled on this board as it kicks off kernel panics on install boot, and it's not supported in Cap anyhow. The intel chipset works...
