I plugged in the USB header into one of my USB 2.0 headers.Also, I didn’t have to use the RTD3 header that my mo-bo requires for a TB add-in card.I plugged the PCIe power cable into the one that was labelled with “A” (see attached) I followed the included instruction manual, but instead of using 2 PCIe power headers, I managed to get it to work with only 1 since my PSU didn’t have enough.

Once the card arrived, I immediately set it up to install on my mo-bo.

There was another post on Reddit mentioning this, so I decided to take a risk and buy it to try on. It had the external and internal connections I needed especially its flexibility to have both a 3- and 5-pin TB header cable.

I found that the Titan Ridge card was compatible with my B460M chipset, so I decided to look into it. So, it looked like RTD3 wasn’t really required as long as you set that in the BIOS. After discovering the TB settings page, I managed to find a setting where TB can be set to “none”, “enabled with RTD3”, and “enabled”. I wasn’t able to get much info about it, so I looked into the BIOS. My mo-bo had a TB header but said it required to be compatible with RTD3. I had no idea what that is nor most people after looking around the Internet (any ideas what it could be!?). I even did my research and my mo-bo specifically requires a TB card to have support for “RTD3”. I reached out to MSI support, but they weren’t very helpful and even said that no card is compatible with my mo-bo. But, that wasn’t the case and it was only USB-capable but the board can do TB, so I had to look for an add-in card. That way, both machines can share most of my peripherals.

I initially bought the MSI B460M thinking the USB-C port at the back is Thunderbolt (TB) since I wanted to switch my Caldigit TS3 Plus dock from between my work MacBook to my personal PC. I’m hoping others can find this now or in the future as a reference so they won’t have to experience the same as I did - especially beginners like me. I just wanted to share my experience getting a Gigabyte Thunderbolt add-in card to a non-Gigabyte, but Thunderbolt-capable mo-bo. Hello! I’m a novice PC-builder but have been working in IT for over 10 years. You may just need to tweak some settings. 2.0 Thunderbolt Card will technically work with any Thunderbolt-capable motherboard and CPU as long as it and its BIOS support Thunderbolt.
