That hub won't work with that Mac. That hub needs a Thunderbolt host.

looking on google i found this :https://www.gigabyte.com/latam/Motherboard/GC-TITAN-RIDGE-rev-20#kf
my question is:
¿ Does any body use it ?
¿ Does it need some adittional configuration ? (i found some video that they flash this card)

Regards

why do you want to connect the thunderbolt hub to your Mac?

From what I've read, some people have done this, but it's very, very unstable, and very difficult to do. I think you have to go through some configuration every time the Mac reboots, or maybe even goes to sleep. From what I recall, it was a lot of work, but not impossible.
