Does the HP Baker SSID: 8767 support a thunderbolt express card

[RAV52]

I'm hoping someone can tell me if my motherboard will accept a thunderbolt PCI express card?

The computer is a 

HP Pavilion Desktop - TE01-1114 and the motherboard is a Baker.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @RAV52 

Thunderbolt requires a PCIe x4 slot. 

You have a PCIe x16 slot and a PCIe x1 slot. 

You can do this if the PCIe x16 slot is empty (no discrete graphics card).

Not enough PCIe lanes are available for Thunderbolt with the x1 slot on your MB.

Hi Bill

i do not have any cards installed. I see there’s a cable that goes from the thunderbolt card to another card slot.

not sure about that.

Okay, so without the x4 slot it won’t work correct?

Tnx for your help.

Hi @RAV52 

You can use an x4 PCIe card with the correct connector in an empty x16 slot.
