ThunderboltEX 3 firmware update ?

[artillery12]

I just bought an asus thunderboltex 3 and am waiting for it to arrive. Just doing a little research before it arrives. I have extra small copper heat sinks with stickies and wanted to know it these chips get warm under load. The pictures shows no heat sink and would imagine with charging and 40gps transfer speeds that they would get hot

No they dont, ive never had issue. Its the safest to shut down computer and devices when plugging in, or out. Install drivers first and setup the settings in the bios correctly. I use this version.

latest official asus firmware is version 18.5, very old

some cards bought new arrive with version 21 22 maximum 26 detected

I'm looking for the .bin file to update the card to have the latest firmware available, maybe 26 or higher, but I can't find anything or solutions. Asus support as well know does not exist

Can you help me I have no more ideas

thanks

question about the connector for thunderboltex 3:

--if i connect a usb disk to the usb3 10gb port the disk works correct
--if i connect a usb disk on the thunderbolt port with a "10gb or 20gb usb-c cable" the usb disk does not turn on and does not work, i have tried various external usb drives and cables.

Should the thunderbolt port be usb 3.1 compatible?

No, i am pretty shure it is not. You can get a Thunderbolt dock, that has usb 3.? that will work, even old thunderbolt 2 docks.
