I think it’s cheaper for me to try the gc-Titan-ridge Then to buy £800 usb-c interface

Even USB-C?

So if I got a usb-c audio interface it would be fine? or will the Titan-ridge work @Ploddles?

But thunderbolt is usb-c? Thunderbolt 3 is a superset of USB-C; you can plug a USB-C-only device into a Thunderbolt 3 port on a computer, and it'll work just fine?

Which one would you recommend? I think @Ploddles has an EFI that will work for my board and my thunderbolt. He is going to send me. Technolli used it and got thunderbolt working with his device.

Hello mate, no I haven’t even built the machine yet, waiting on the GPU.

Can I get Thunderbolt working on my current motherboard, or will it work better if I perhaps buy the Titan-Ridge card?

I understand @iGPU is also the man. I just want to have a build working as well as possible.

Hey guys, I've literally just started out. I haven't even built my rig yet, I've just ordered most of the parts (just waiting on the GPU & Monitor) Case: Fractal Design Define R6 with USB C Mobo: Gigabyte TRX40 AORUS XTREME PSU: be quiet! Dark Power Pro 12 1500 Watt SSD: 3 x SABRENT 2TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 CPU: AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U14S TR4-SP3 Thermal Paste: ARCTIC MX-4 RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO 256GB (8x32GB) DDR4 3200Mhz GPU: Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 5700 XT 8G Monitor: Samsung Odyssey G9 49” Curved Gaming Monitor So this is what I have coming.... My main purposes will be as follows: 1. Audio Production with Logic Pro X and many Audio Plugins and VSTs preferably with my thunderbolt UAD Apollo Twin Audio Interface.... I really would like to get Thunderbolt working.. and I understand Technolli got thunderbolt working with this exact set up? 2. Video Editing - Just amateur to start with but I will be progessing 3. Graphics Editing such as Illustrator & Photoshop etc.. nothing intense. 4. Gaming on Windows. I understand that most of my Audio Software and plugins will NOT work on Big Sur, so Big Sur is out of the question. The best OS for my Audio Stuff is Mojave, but I don't think it supports the 5700 XT so I will have to use Catalina... and I think I can make all of my audio stuff work with Catalina. So my questions are: 1. What is the best to go with for my exact set up above? A. Bare Metal? B. Virtualisation - If virtualisation, which method? 2. Have we go to the stage where we can get Thunderbolt working now? 3. Can anyone provide me with any links, EFIs, Kekts, that I need for my individual set up? I understand @fabiosun is the Master, and I think I saw something about @Ploddles having an EFI that would help me? Looks like @info is producer too so similar situation to me. Hope you guys can help. Much love! DarkEnergy2020 Please help!?!
