Hello! So I recently built a new system with the X99 Gaming 5P. I'm upgrading from a Z97 (Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 1) and was using the Thunderbolt EX II card with that system for Thunderbolt connectivity. I purchased a GC-Thunderbolt 2 card to use with this system as it is advertised as compatible here:
http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5210#ovThe card does not work as advertised in either the PCI-e 2 or 3 slots. Researching this more, I found other users claiming that the thunderbolt option was removed from the BIOS as of F20? This should be listed in the patch notes if that is the case! I read about another user potentially getting a custom build of the BIOS with it enabled for the X99-SLI, would that be possible with my board? I really need thunderbolt 2 support specifically for an audio interface, so it's pretty important to me. This was the forum post I read where the guy referenced getting a custom BIOS (X99SLI_F23X.zip):
