Thunderbolt for Z170 Gaming K6

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

   I have the ASRock Z170 Gaming K6 and was wonder if a Thunderbolt 3 PCIe can be added. I can't seem to find any Thunderbolt 2 cards anymore and if 3 can be added does it have to be a specific brand such as AsRock or Asus since they're like the only two brands I see. Can the ASRock Z170 Gaming K6 handle 2xTB3 cards or just single?

	Dear StageTripScott, Thank you for choosing ASRock. Regarding your question, Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 needs to update a special BIOS to support ASRock Thunderbolt 3 AIC, and the Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K6 only supports one ASRock Thunderbolt 3 AIC. *The Thunderbolt 3 AIC have to install at the PCIE6 slot and connect the TBT Header Cable to the TBT Header. Thank you! Yours truly, ASRock TSD Edited by ASRock_TSD - 20 Jul 2018 at 10:14am
