I need a Thunderbolt 3 port for my UAD Apollo Twin mkii duo interface. https://www.uaudio.com/audio-interfaces/apollo-twin-mkii.html
My MOBO is the ASUS M5a99x evo R2.0. https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboards/M5A99X_EVO_R20/
It has a TB Header on the motherboard but I looked through the manual and have found no imformation on it. My processor is the AMD FX 8350. It's older so I don't think Black Ed.
I would like to use the ASUS Thunberbolt EX3 pcie card. https://www.asus.com/ca-en/Motherboard-Accessories/ThunderboltEX-3/. I've had varying comments about compatability. Has anyone had experience with this?
Thanks

Thank you rgd1101 . I have read that TB is Intel Technology but I want to add a Asus Thunderbolt 3 pcie board to enable that. It has a TB header on my board. I don't know . I'm confused. Asus realeased a statement in 2012 (apprx) saying they have added a TB header on certain boards. The Asus M5a99x evo 2.0 is one of them. So I don't understand why there is no mention of it in their manual. Although it shows the TB header there.
Thanks again for your response
