I'm up and running, new to doing this, so I'd like to know if updating my BIOS may help with my Thunderbolt 3 connection. Right now I can connect to a Thunderbolt 2 drive via an adapter, but only if I connect then restart. Upon restart I can access the drive but there are no Thunderbolt drivers in the System Information.
I've done a lot of reading on this site so I'm pretty confident on how to do the update. I just am curious if it's worth doing. I see on Gygabytes website I'm on version F4 and there's about 4-5 updates wince the version I have. It's up to F22. They must have skipped some numbers. I didn't notice anything in the notes about Thunderbolt though, so I'm curious if it's worth doing?
I also am curious if anyone has had any luck using a PCI thunderbolt card with a mobo like mine. I wanted to get a Thunderbolt 2 card but they seem quite difficult to find now. I see an ASUS card coming available soon on B&H, but none of the recommended card here in this forum seem to be available.
I may just stick with the single TH3 with 3-2 adapter. But it would be nice to have 2 more TH2's.
