Apollo x8 Thunderbolt 3 Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX

[DrKasi]

Hey,

I bought an Apollo x8 He with Thunderbolt 3 connection, and now i have the problem my Mainboard has no TB3 connection.
I saw Gigabyte has some Thunderbolt Cards with PCI-E x4. They listed certified Mainboards on different Cards, and my Mainboard is only listed on the Titan Ridge 1.0 and 2.0.
The Titan Ridge is not available in my country on any page and i was wondering if i could also use like the Gigabyte Maple Ridge even my MB is not listed for certified with this card. But its available right now. Maybe someone can share their experience or give me some tips.

My system
Mainboard: Gigabyte x670 Aorus Elite AX
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7950X
Ram: 64Gb Quad Channel DDR5 5600mHz
Win 11 Pro

Think thats the most important u need to know hopefully i get some help, i really need it now.

According to GigaByte's website, that MB has a TB4 header, so you should be able to add a TB4 card to the system. You'll have to go through the correct manual for the revision of MB you have and maybe reach out to GigaByte support or more details about their TB4 support.
