Z490 AQUA Thunderbolt

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I've had the Z490 AQUA for nearly a couple of years, and now need to use the Thunderbolt 3 port for a NVMe enclosure.

The Discrete Thunderbolt(TM) Support is enabled in BIOS, yet I can not see it in Device Manager (Win10x64).

Is this to be expected, or could there be something wrong?

	Thunderbolt, usually is not detected in Device manager, however as soon as a device is connected (it must be recognized of course), you shoukd see a Thunderbolt device in device manager, and it should be found in the Thunderbolt software as well.
	Kind Regards
