That would be the Sapphire Pulse GPU (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07RVCM8K7)?

Yes. Both links display the same model number.

This 2801 BIOS is "Update Microcode for Inte 14th gen processors & Intel ME update mechanism".

Have you updated the BIOS on this motherboard yet?

Have you updated the BIOS on this motherboard yet?

Nope. I tend not to update unless there is an "emergency" need to do so.

I've attached the Thunderbolt 4 SSDT below. A special thank you to @CaseySJ for helping me with the TB4 SSDT for this build.

Hi @Stork , @CaseySJ
, very nice work, congratulations...
I'm also thinking of buying ThunderboltEX 4 for my Z790 Tuf Gaming card, but Thunderbolt hacking has always seemed very complicated to me. If I were to buy this Thunderbolt card, I wanted to learn from you what the patching process is. Also, is the hot plug working as a result of all your efforts?
