thunderbolt

It all started after I added THUNDERBOLTEx Dual II to my z87 deluxe motherboard. Before that, my hackintosh booted great every time. But now it fails to boot more times than not. On the rare occasion that it does boot, the thunderbolt works perfectly by the way. I don't want to give up my...

The ASUS page says these are the only boards that add-in card is compatible with: Z87-DELUXE Z97-DELUXE/USB 3.1 Z97-DELUXE Z97-DELUXE(NFC & WLC) https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboard-Accessory/ThunderboltEX_IIDUAL/specifications/ Are there other boards beside these that people have gotten...

Ok its the age old problem of getting thunderbolt to work on a Hackintosh. I will get into this in a bigger way in a couple of weeks to see if i can crack it. ATM I am looking at this adapter (link below) to connect a couple of thunderbolt raid drives to the computer, but I am open to the...

Hey guys, so everything else with my first build is fully functioning, booting to MacOS Sierra successfully (yay!), except for thunderbolt (as far as I can tell, I only have the one thunderbolt device to test with). So far, I've installed the TB drivers and enabled the ports through the utility...

I've finally convinced my current employer to throw down the money for a new workstation. As I'm spending someone else's money, I'm really trying to be smart about it. I put together a parts list with two friends, one of the best 3D artists I know, and a high-end IT manager, but I'm not...

Hi :) I finally got my Thunderbolt 2 audio interface (UAD Apollo Twin) working with my Gigabyte Designare motherboard via Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter. I get sound and everything works 100%. But I'm just curious.. Where should the Thunderbolt be listed in the System Report? Its not under USB...

Hi! I am going to build mini-itx hackintosh and stuck with two options: 1. Consumer setup with ga-h170n-wifi with i7 6700 - obviously no overclocking features. 2. Entusiast setup with ga-z170n-gaming5 with i7 6700k - higher processor speed from the box and OC capabilities. For me the only...

Ciao my friends, I'm building my new hackintosh with ASUS Z97A motherboard (I've made other 2 with ASUS Z97M-Plus with 100% success) for my music studio, and I'm going to use Focusrite Clarett 8pre. So I need a Thunderbolt connection. After reading some info from Tony for ASUS ThunderboltEX II...

Does anyone know of any Thunderbolt add-in cards that will work with the Gigabyte X99-UD4? I'm looking at this on Newegg and hoping this would give me Thunderbolt capability. ASRock Add-On Card Model Thunderbolt 2 AIC

So, figured you’d like to know that the OWC Thunderbolt Drive dock (https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TB2U3DKR2/) is the only Thunderbolt 2 peripheral that allows hot swapping of drives via Thunderbolt. The one catch with existing Thunderbolt 2 Hackintosh systems, is that the drives attached...

Hey guys, This is going to possibly be my very first Hackintosh build. I've had these pieces running as my PC build but due to work, I think it might make things easier if I were to switch my computer to a Mac. I do a lot of video editing and I just got a job where they use an iMac and I'm...

Hello everyone from Russia. Need your knowledge and help. I use MacBook pro 15 late 2013 but now I consider that I don't need portable. Here's specs that I prefer for it: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH Core i5-6500 Gigabyte GTX 950 (Radeon haven't native support) Crucial Ballistix Sport LT (16GB)...

Hi, I'm looking at the Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 TH -- but do I really care if it has Thunderbolt? I'm confused about Thunderbolt because I'm reading that it uses USB-C ports. Does that mean that this board really going to provide different ports? Or do I need it period if I want to use Thunderbolt...

Hello guys, I installed everything but when I get to the Multibeast stage and try to install the drivers nothing happens. It does build and install but when I restart the computer there's nothing there. Also when I save the build and try to load it again it says that the file is corrupt. And...

Hello everyone, Newbie here, so pardon me if I'm missing something obvious. Let's start, I built my first Hack 1 month ago following all the guidance I found here and I'm very happy with the results, thank you all, the hardware as follow: Asus z97-Pro (Wifi ac/USB 3.1) Intel core i7 4790k...

Hi guys, I want to do an 1151 (or 2011-v3) mATX build (or smaller), but my main requirement is thunderbolt (1-2) support to drive an apple thunderbolt display. I have been struggling to find info on what boards have inbuilt TB support, which boards got it via a firmware update, which boards...

Hi Guys, This is my first post here, although I've been reading posts on this forum for ages now. First off, I apologise in advance if the topic of my questions has been covered elsewhere already, I've read through as many posts as I can handle and I've not found a clear answer to a couple of my...

Hi everybody, My build is going pretty well thanks to some of you guys :) Fortunately, my thunderbolt display work perfectly, but not the peripherals... I'm talking about Ethernet, USB and camera... And I can't find a way to make it work, even on Windows10. Did some of you manage to make it...

Hi! I already got my Hackintosh to work around two years ago and now the need arises for a thunderbolt 1 port. I really need suggestions because I can't find solutions to the problem I have on the forums. Should I just buy a new Mobo? If thats the case what mobo would be recommended that would...
