Hi all,
I need help to install an Asus ThunderboltEX3 coming from an X99 DELUXE II but never used before.

I followed the basic steps found on the TBEX3 manual:

1) Donwloaded from Asus support website Intel_Thunderbolt_AR_17.2.71.250_20171205 driver and TbtFwUpdate_1.0.0.15_release updater.
2) Installed TB driver
3) Reboot in Windows and shutdown
4) Installed TBEX3 in PCIeEX16_2 slot (near the GPU) and connected the cable to the motherboard TB header and the miniDP<-> DP cable to an GTX1060 DP output.
5) Set AIC Location group: CPU0 NB PCIE slot and AIC Location: PCIeX16_2 (where my card is installed)
6) Reboot in BIOS/Advanced and enabled thunderbolt and Windows support.
7) Reboot again in Windows and tried to flash new TB Firmware. This is the screenshot:



No way to see TBEX3 on Windows device manager:



And Thunderbolt App doesn't shows any useful info, even if an HDD is connected to the TB3 port (LED on HDD is OFF!):



I really don't know what else to try, I also redo all this steps from the beginning installing TBEX3 on PCIeEX16_3 slot, at the bottom of the board, with same results.
This request is my last chance before ask for an RMA from Asus, I think it's impossible to spend one week trying to install an expansion board...

Here follows my actual (NOT WORKING!) BIOS configuration related to the Thunderbolt section:







Hope for your help, this thing is driving me crazy....

Thanks in advance
