Hi guys, I'm trying to get an Asus ThunderBoltEX III Card working on my PC. The build above has been used - the motherboard is supposed to be compatible with the card as I have the AIC connector for the thunderbolt which has the exact number of pins as the cable provided. Unfortunately, I can't seem to make the card be recognized in the BIOS (it just shows that the slot is empty). The ideal setup would be that this card works so I can chain my graphic card into the ThunderBoltEX III Card and then use an Apple Thunderbolt Display as main display (since I'm running off a Mac separately with the screen).

List anything you've done in attempt to diagnose or fix the problem.

I've tried reinstalling several thunderbolt drivers, drivers for the PCI card, plugging into different sockets but haven't had it recognized yet.

Provide any additional details you wish below.

Should anything else help or if I need to post other things, feel free to let me know. I'd love to get this setup working but have no clue how to continue or if the card is at all supported in the end by my motherboard. Many thanks in advance Reddit!

The Z97 Extreme6 is, for now, the flagship enthusiast motherboard from Asrock. The Z97 features dual Gigabit LAN using an Intel I218V PHY and a Realtek RTL8111GR controller. Sound is provided by the Realtek ALC1150 codec, which has 7.1 CH HD audio with content protection. The Z97 Extreme 6 also includes three PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots, two PCI Express 3.0 x1 slots, Ultra M.2 and M.2 slots (for add-in mini PCI Express cards and SSDs), a separate PCIe power connector at the bottom (for more stability) and ten SATA 6Gb/s ports.

Surprisingly the Z97 Extreme6 costs just $170, which seems very reasonable given the feature set and the fact that this thing is hot off the press.
