ASUS ROG Maximus HERO 9 with GC-Alpine Ridge Thunderbolt card?

I have a very stable system for about a year now, but desperately need Thunderbolt for my audio interface. I have spent last 2 weeks bouncing back between reddit and Tonymac reading all kinds of material. I see people successfully adding an ASUS EX3 card to an ASUS board and GC-Alpine Ridge to a Gigabyte Board, and I also see people add the ASUS EX3 card to a Gigabyte board, but have yet to find someone with my ASUS HERO 9 and a Gigabyte GC-Alpine Ridge. At this point I'm getting kinda desperate and reckless and could use some help.
