Hi, I recently updated to Windows 10 1903. After the update and also with a clean install of 1903 the TB3 Networking is slow (20-120KByte/sek) when it comes to sending data between two TB3 Clients connected over a TB3 cable. Receiving data is fast (300-600 MBsek)). This issue cannot be reproduced with Windows 1809. I have tested these TB3 drivers and also the Asrock Driver posted in another Topic (http://asrock.pc.cdn.bitgravity.com/TSD/Desktop/Driver/19H1/TBT_DCH_SW_Rev59.2.zip): WHQL: 1.41.648.5 1.41.645.0 1.41.565.0 Intel: 17.4.79.510 17.4.77.400 17.4.76.300 16.3.61.275 I have the current 4.0 BIOS. Can you please help? |

| No one? Could you please provide a TB3 Firmware Update. All other Vendors are providing TB3 Firmware updates, but Asrock not. |

Hey Coool, not it is stored on the TB3 chip. Your post has Nothing to do with TB3 issues. I think Asrock will never provide TB3 Firmware updates, because they Need to pay for the Firmware update from Intel I guess. So the feature of TB3, this is why I have bought two of These boards for 400$ is gone. I should have bought a yATX board with TB3 support with Firmware updates. |

Have you tried to find any firmware on net for Thunderbolt 3 controller, Intel's JHL6240 "Alpine Ridge". No, I don't know what Firmware is. And Intel say you can't use Skylake and Kaby Lake CPUs on Z370, too.  ------------- http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211" rel="nofollow - ASRock Rack EP2C602-4L/D16 Support http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12080" rel="nofollow - ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac Support |

djakupovic, currently I don't need because I'm not using 2 x Thunderbolt in 10 Gbit network mode. But I have read on [URL=https://macperformanceguide.com/ThunderboltNetworking-performance.html]Thunderbolt 10-Gigabit Networking: Real World Performance[/URL] Mac have same similar issue. ------------- http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211" rel="nofollow - ASRock Rack EP2C602-4L/D16 Support http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12080" rel="nofollow - ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac Support |

No, I have full bandwith also over time. You are not answering my issue at all. There is no fw update for this tb3 chip and probably there wont be any, because this is a chip from 2016 with only 2x PCIe lanes and newer one have 4. Opened ticket @ Asrock. Lets see how Long it takes. Miss invest. |

Don't know your reason using Thunderbolt as network interface. It's just option. Are you sure it's not Linux issue (code)! ------------- http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=3211" rel="nofollow - ASRock Rack EP2C602-4L/D16 Support http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=12080" rel="nofollow - ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming-ITX/ac Support |

| I repeate myself: You dont help at all. No it is not a Linux issue. Why? Very simple: Because 10Gbit and not 1 Gbit. |
