I've been searching a way to add Thunderbolt support to ASRock Z170 Extreme 7+ motherboard. However all retailers have stopped selling the ASRock Thunderbolt 2 AIC and only the newer Thunderbolt 3 AIC is available.
Does the TB 3 version work with my motherboard? Or are there any other 3rd party add-in cards that would work with ASRock? And if someone has the ASRock Thunderbolt 2 add-in card laying around somewhere, please let me know. I would be very interested of buying one. Thanks for your help!

Dear Tabulius,
Thank you for choosing ASRock.
Regarding your question, ASRock Z170 Extreme7+ can support ASRock Thunderbolt 3 AIC with special BIOS P7.60A. Note: The ASRock Thunderbolt 3 AIC need to install at PCIE3 slot and the thunderbolt AIC connector also need to connect. You can download the BIOS from below link and update by Instant Flash. https://mega.nz/#!copEwQ4L!FF2TQbw_LmvXTEAgghMd6OJI7l_5vzL016kt5t7W5Xo
Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |

Hello
I have an Asrock x99 OC Formula (Gold), with a Xeon processor. I bought an Asrock Thunderbolt 3 AIC. Can the card be used on the x99 mainboard?... How can one accomplish that?... |

Dear Lovetruth,
Thank you for choosing ASRock. Thunderbolt 3 AIC cannot support at X99 chipset. Please check the following link for the ASRock Thunderbolt 3 AIC support list. http://www.asrock.com/mb/spec/product.asp?Model=Thunderbolt%203%20AIC#SupportList Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |

Thanks for your reply. I can see that it is not in the Supported list... Also... the Z170 is not on the supported list too?... You still provided them with a moded BIOS... Can you do the same for the X99?... I'll try it, no problem if it fails (I even have an EEPROM programmer (this one - https://www.optimusdigital.ro/ro/programatoare/479-programator-de-memorie-ch341a.html ) and I'd just save and rewrite the current bios for the Asrock X99 OC Formula, if it's a problem... Well?... Any hope?... :) Also... - would it work on the cheaper Z170?... Or... which one would surely work, but not the most expensive one?... :) Thanks in advance for your quick and amiable reply!... Have a great time there and... be great, Asrock!... :) Eng.

Dear Lovetruth, Thank you for your reply. Due to the BIOS structure is different between X99 and Z170, X99 series cannot support Thunderbolt 3 by BIOS update. We suggest choosing the motherboard on the support list. Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD |

I have a x99x fatality killer motherboard and just installed the thunderbolt 3 aic... the light is on, but not sure if its working. I read on amazon reviews that some dude made it work with the x99 Extreme 4. Since he has his working, wouldn't I be able to use it with the x99 killer fatality?
