Please keep in mind that we are here to help you build a computer, not to build it for you. I intend to try this out sometime later this year using an Akitio Thunder 3 EGPU.Submit Build Help/Ready post Submit Troubleshooting post Submit other post New Here? BuildAPC Beginner's Guide Live Chat on Discord Daily Simple Questions threads His conclusion was, if you have an Asus Motherboard with an Asus Thunderbolt Header the Thunderbolt 3 EX card will very likely work. But basically the person on the video said that although not officially supported by Asus, he was using it constantly for 1 month and it worked fine. Unofficially though I found a presentation / youtube video where someone was testing an Asus Thunderbolt 3 addon Card in their Asus Z97 board with a Thunderbolt 3 EGPU case and a GPU inside it. It is, officially at least, stuck on Thunderbolt 2. My Asus Z97 Deluxe came with with Thunderbolt 2 EX Card + Header Connection. It was a 10 seconds faster booting up than the original Corsair 1TB SATA III SSD.

I did a full Windows 8.1 installation on the NVMe SSD and was able to boot from it. If you download the lastest Z97 Motherboard BIOS files from the ASUS Website and reflash Motherboard BIOS with it then you can Boot from the Samsung 1TB NVMe SSD.
The Samsung Nvme + Hyperm2x4 card works in the 3rd PCIe x16 Slot on the Z97 motherboard. I woould be worried about bricking my motherboard.
He claims you can boot from the NVMe SSD + HyperX.
#THUNDERBOLT ADD IN CARD CODE#
I got in contact with someone who found a way of extracting some code from a Z97 BIOS download and then modifying the Z87 Bios with the extracted code and then You just cant use it as a Boot drive because the BIOS does not see the drive at boot. Data Transfer rates on atto are brilliant. It just sees a data drive once you boot into Windows 8.1. It hits crossfire performance if I do that though.Īlso if you are thinking of getting one, the Asus Z87 BIOS will not boot from the NVMe SSD + HyperX card with official ASUS BIOS. The Samsung Nvme + Hyperm2x4 card also works in the 3rd PCIe x16 Slot on the Z87 motherboard if I run my crossfired GPUs + the SSD in PCIe3.0/8/4/4. I can use an Akitio Thunder 2 PCIe Expansion Box containing a Samsung 1TB Nvme SSD + Asus Hyper M2 X4 Gen 3.0 card o.k.
#THUNDERBOLT ADD IN CARD PORTABLE#
One reason I was asking about this was I bought a Samsung 1TB Nvme SSD and I wanted it to be portable and work over Thunderbolt1/2.
#THUNDERBOLT ADD IN CARD SOFTWARE#
I could probably find get the required Header signals on some tracks on the board and design a custom card and software to do it. I have not found any other solution despite looking and asking around from the original posting date. So as far as I know, for my Z87 Deluxe Dual I am completely stuck with the built in Thunderbolt 1 ports. They really should have provided a Thunderbold Header and a way to turn off the built in Thunderbolt and use a PCie based card instead.
It would have been good for Asus to have thought of this situation up front w,r,t, the Deluxe Dual. So annoying! I could have spent less and had a more future proof motherboard! I had not done my research well enough / it was not advertised but the Z87 Deluxe Board (without built in Thunderbolt) actually does have a built in header! It was early days back then for Thunderbolt on PC. My fault for being one of the first to go for an Asus Deluxe Dual with Built In Thunderbolt 1 I guess. I can see no other reason for doing it like this. Not what Asus told me, just my impression from the overall discussion. I think the header partly performs a "dongle" function. They did not state this explicitly but i think it might be the case that part of the reason for the header is to ensure that thunderbolt cards can only be used on certain Intel Approved boards. The Answer was I could definitely not use their Thunderbolt 2 (or 3) addon card if I did not have a thunderbolt header available on the board. I only got though to the hotdesk support guys though. Just logged into this forum for first time since Christmas, sorry for the delay in response to you.
