Hello,

Will the thunderbolt display from Apple work on my current hackintosh build?

Asus Z170i Pro Gaming
Gigabyte RX460 4GB (HDMI 2.0b, DisplayPort 1.4, DVI-D)
8GB RAM 2400
128 GB SSD

A co-worker is trying to sell his display with a very reasonable price and I would definitely take it if it works with my current rig. It's a mini-itx so I can't have Thunderbolt add-in card.
 
An Apple Thunderbolt Display will only work with a thunderbolt input

If that machine does not have a Thunderbolt port (Note that having USB-C does not mean you have Thunderbolt 3.) then forget about using the Thundebolt display.
