Thunderbolt 3 expansion for PCIe systems
The MSI ThunderboltM3 add-on card brings two Thunderbolt 3 Type-C ports to a desktop through a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. It is intended for creators and professionals who need high-speed external storage, 4K display output or external graphics on a motherboard that lacks native Thunderbolt headers. The card uses an Intel Thunderbolt 3 controller and requires a DisplayPort 1.2 signal from the graphics card or motherboard to pass video.
Bundled TB header cable enables motherboard link
A single 5-pin TB header cable is included to connect the card to a compatible motherboard header. This link is required for Thunderbolt functionality and for daisy-chaining up to six devices. The two DisplayPort inputs on the bracket accept a DP 1.2 feed from the GPU or integrated graphics, allowing the Thunderbolt ports to carry 4K video at 60 Hz or 24 Hz without additional adapters.
Compact bracket fits standard full-height slots
The card measures 3.35 inches by 4.11 inches and occupies one full-height expansion slot. Two Thunderbolt 3 Type-C ports face the rear panel alongside the two DisplayPort inputs, keeping cabling tidy at the back of the case. The 5-pin internal header sits on the PCB edge for straightforward routing to the motherboard. The PCIe 3.0 x4 interface provides the bandwidth needed for low-latency audio recording and fast external storage workflows.

Soalan tentang produk ini
Will the Intel Thunderbolt 3 controller on this card need a firmware update later?
The Intel Thunderbolt 3 controller handles the protocol; firmware updates are issued by the motherboard vendor through their BIOS or utility software, not by the card itself.
Does the PCIe 3.0 x4 interface limit sustained throughput on the two Thunderbolt 3 ports?
The card connects through a PCIe 3.0 x4 link, which sets the maximum data rate available to both Thunderbolt 3 ports combined during heavy transfers.
How much heat does the card produce when both Thunderbolt 3 ports run all day?
The card is a compact 3.35" x 4.11" add-in board with no active cooling; it relies on case airflow to dissipate heat from the Intel controller during continuous operation.
