You are right the ethernet is under the USB hub that is connected to the thunderbolt 3 system. Will test that as soon as the GC-Maple Ridge AICs become available in Germany. Gigabyte still uses a 5-pin cable for their GC-Maple Ridge Thunderbolt 4 AIC so there might be an easy drop-in upgrade path for existing X570 motherboards like the ASRock X570 Taichi.This lead to speculation that maybe Thunderbolt 4 needs these additional pins requiring you to purchase new motherboards to be able to use Thunderbolt 4 (or to just be on the safe side to be able to get the latest hardware revision since Intel is so intransparent) ASUS switched from 5-pin to 13-pin motherboard headers for Thunderbolt 4.(No way for you to document that you got an older, more faulty revision) My gut says this is because Intel doesn’t want to publicly acknowledge these fixes in hardware revisions to avoid justified customer complaints. (Some new (?) security issues have appeared that require firmware model numbers are unfortunately “just” the general devices’ identifiers, there can be several hardware revisions of the 15EB for Titan Ridge Thunderbolt 3, for example something like 15EB.1, 15EB.2 or 15EB.3 - but no way for a customer to see these details. Is there a clean way of updating Thunderbolt firmwares if the motherboard or AIC manufacturer is unwilling? Connect to the Internet, Windows will get the Thunderbolt management software from the Microsoft StoreĬan you find out the exact Thunderbolt 3 Titan Ridge hardware revision in Windows? If not, what’s the exact way to do this under Linux?.Manually install (right-click on them) all the.(On another computer) Download the latest Thunderbolt drivers from Intel (Link updated to driver version.Install Windows in UEFI-only mode on GPT-initialized drive.Thunderbolt motherboard UEFI security option: “User Authentication”.UEFI: Enable SVM, IOMMU and DMA protection.My first pearls of wisdom regarding the latest Windows 10 versions (works fine with 20H2, 21H1 and 21H2) and X570 and B550 motherboards with Thunderbolt 3 (unkown Titan Ridge revision) and Thunderbolt 4 (Maple Ridge). The last two videos from have convinced me that there is the need for a more general Thunderbolt-related hardware thread.
