macgaga Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hi guys, I built a Z97 Hack with Chamleon. I added a Thunderbolt EX II Asus Card. (2 Thunderbolt Ports) Its running. But I cant do Hot Swap. I have to restart if I connect something. Can somebody solve that? Maybe with clover ? If somebody can make this smooth run for me ... would be fantastic.

Stabi Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Two caveats before I answer: 1.) It's based on what I read somewhere many weeks ago about the problems that Thunderbolt has on Windows 2.) I do not have the appropriate low-level knowledge to judge whether this makes any sense. With that out of the way, let me say that you may not be able resolve this, because it is AFAIR a hardware issue. On Apple computers, the PCIe lanes for TB are directly connected to the CPU, but Intel won't allow any MoBo manufacturers to do the same for some reason. Now I don't understand how that would affect hot plugging (see caveat no 2), but the article seemed to indicate so. Maybe somebody else can chime in and clarify whether I make sense or wrote complete BS. So long, Stabi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mork vom Ork Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 There is a new firmware for this ASUS Thunderbolt EX II DualPort Card on the ASUS website availlable: Just download from here: http://www.asus.com/Motherboard-Accessories/ThunderboltEX_IIDUAL/HelpDesk_Download/ On my ASRock Extreme7+ Z170 Skylake machine i updated the card under Windows, restart the machin under El Capitan, and... NOTHING!?! Restartet, deactivated Thunderbolt in BIOS (v3.00) and rebooted into El Capitan, and... BINGO, all connected Thunderbolt devices are availlable under El Capitan! Don't ask me why - but its the truth. After shutdown and restart (with disabled Thunderbolt in BIOS): no Thunderbolt devices under WINDOWS or El Capitan. Have to restart with enabled Thunderbolt, boot into El Capitan, restart with disabled Thunderbolt in BIOS, boot into El Capitan - et voila... all thunderbolt devices avail. Don't understand why.... but who cares if it is working (this way).
