Hello all,
I followed this guide for my first Hackintosh build, and got everything working except Thunderbolt. I'm dual booting UEFI with Windows and 10.13.3, but I can't manage to get my Thunderbolt card to recognize in Device Manager > System Devices on Windows. I installed the drivers and they show up in Program Files (x86)/Intel. Currently plugged into PCIE Slot 3 (as suggested in E.5 of the x299 iMac Pro guide by @kgp -- although it should be noted that the BIOS options are pretty different than the guide for my x99), but I also tried slot 5 closest to the TB Header with no luck. I've also tried updating the firmware and various other driver builds.
One interesting thing is that 4G Decoding set to Disabled crashes by OSX boot with an AptioMemoryFix error, but 2000Free doesn't seem to fix that either. My current thinking is to try to get Thunderbolt recognized in Windows first and then move on to dealing with OSX booting.

Any thoughts or ideas? @BoomR I believe you have a pretty similar setup and are also an audio guy, any thoughts?
