TPM-SPI Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

It works with both ASUS ProArt Z690 and ASUS Prime Z590-P mobos. If your intent is to use this to augment a pre-Windows 11 motherboard and upgrade to that version of Windows, please note: when the current OS is running on an MBR formatted disk, then an upgrade isn't possible. You will receive a "secure boot state unsupported" error. Windows 11 can only be installed on a GPT formatted disk. If this is the case, you will need to do a clean install from disc or flash drive media.

Worked as hoped. Made sure my ASUS TUF GAMING X570-PLUS motherboard TPM header had the correct 14 pin layout before ordering, and it fit perfectly. Item shipped quickly and arrived on time. Had to setup the BIOS for discrete TPM instead of FW, and once that was done, it showed up in Win10 just fine after running tpm.msc. Correcting another reviewer's reference to the CVE, which helped me make this purchase, it is CVE-2020-25082 with a low base score of 3.8. "An attacker with physical access to Nuvoton Trusted Platform Module (NPCT75x 7.2.x before 7.2.2.0) could extract an Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) private key via a side-channel attack against ECDSA, because of an Observable Timing Discrepancy." This module came with 7.2.2.0, although that vuln requires physical access to the TPM module to exploit.

This is the 2nd discrete TPM I've purchased and unlike the 1st one I bought locally in South Africa, this one works perfectly on my Asus ROG Strix X570 motherboard. It's extremely unfortunate that discrete TPM devices have different pin outs instead of being standardized as that only leads to confusion to the end user. Hopefully in the future every manufacturer sticks to the same connector pin out in the future. Nonetheless, I installed this onto my motherboard extremely easily, went into the UEFI settings and changed my TPM from the AMD Firmware option to Discrete instead and then rebooted. Everything worked just as expected and the TPM is immediately picked up in Windows 11 without any issue. The TPM was packaged well enough for such a tiny device and despite travelling halfway around the planet, arrived with no damage and perfectly intact. Overall, I wish manufacturers just included these in the box by default, but that aside this worked perfectly, so 5 stars from me.

My Asus TUF X570 wasnt letting me use the AMD fTMP on my 5800X3D to complete Windows 11 validation. Researched and found that Asus boards dont come with this module either, at least not with this generation. Install was as simple as finding the pins on the board and dropping it in. Needed to flash to the latest BIOS to enable. BIOS update still wouldnt let me use fTPM on the CPU , but this chip module worked like a charm. Windows Updater finally showed my board as ready for Win11. Dont want Win11, but at least my board is finally complete for when Im forced to switch over.

Finally flipped a coin on buying to see if this had the patched 7.2.2.0 firmware, and luckily it did. So at least there's some new stock floating around out there with up-to-date firmware, unfortunately I don't think there's any real way of knowing what you're gonna actually get, a newer patched chip or an old one that's been sitting in a warehouse for ages. ASUS's customer support was completely useless, weeks of back and forth emails where it wasn't even clear they understood what the TPM was or that they were selling an ASUS branded one to begin with ended with no answer to my question of if the stock sold on their site had updated firmware and/or if they provided a way for the user to update their firmware... and I wasn't even asking them about the amazon listing, I was asking them about the one on their OWN OFFICIAL WEB STORE. No answer... well, a few weeks later news broke about ASUS frying Ryzen 7000 X3D processors, so I guess I did in a sense get an answer that ASUS is a ramshackle corporation with departments that don't communicate, employees that know nothing about their products or how to reach out to people who do, and a support structure that simply doesn't care about making firmware patches for their more obscure devices. Or whether their devices are gonna destroy themselves. If you're unfortunate enough to own an ASUS board and paranoid about the fTPM microstutters on Ryzen chips enough to want to try a discrete TPM... well, you might get an updated one here on amazon, for less than the ASUS store will charge in shipping, with probably a better return policy, and it's not like ASUS will lift a finger to support you either way. Installation was as simple as plugging the module into my ASUS PRIME X670E-PRO WIFI, changing the bios settings to use the discrete TPM, and setting up my PIN/reauthorizing windows.

I worked on my Prime B450MA-II µATX board. Tight fit because I have an M2 SSD with an aftermarket heat sink, which has a "carriage" that's a little wider than the drive by itself. Just remember, if doing a Windows 11 installation on a new machine with no OS installed, you may have to get into the settings to switch from the fTPM to this unit. You'll probably have to change some other settings as well.

not a TPM 2.0 module

The piece is very small, and the manual for the ASUS motherboard (X570 STRIX in my case) shows a diagram where it needs to be plugged in to some pin headers, just adjacent to the CPU and graphics card slot. The only issue is that the spot is going to be below the graphics card (in my case a 2080ti). So needing to pull the graphics card out, and then finding a way to press this small board down on a header that is somewhat underneath the CPU cooler.... you can't get your hand/fingers in there. My solution seemed to work well - get some poster tack / blue tack, and a pencil with a squared off eraser (or a dowel or a pen with a flat end). Apply the tack to the squared of end of the pencil, then stick the top side to that tack. This puts the tiny board on the end of a stick held on by the tack. Now you can carefully maneuver it down and over the pin header under the CPU cooler. Press it down carefully (be sure to align the keyed pin correctly), and it slides on easily enough. Twist the pencil and the blue tack off and bobs your uncle. Reinstall graphic card, put the rest of the tower back together, boot up and enter the BIOS/UEFI and go to the security/advanced section to make sure the TPM is enabled and selected (and not the CPU based software TPM). Booting into Windows and checking by running TMP.msc to verify its up and found.. and it was. Good to go. Now the only thing standing between going to Windows 11 is deciding if I want to enable UEFI in place of BIOS, with the recovery boot nightmare that can cause... so for now I'm staying BIOS and Windows 10.

Works fine... just be very careful that you order one with the right pin configuration. The first one I ordered had a different pin blocked off and it was completely incompatible with my mother board. Take note of the position of the pin hole that is blocked off!

Awesome. It works!

Windows10からWindows11へアップデート条件に必要なので購入しました。ASUSマザーボードでの使用で相性問題もなく正常に動作しています。

excelent

Perfetto per acere win11 silla9 scheda Asus rog strix z590; tuttavia segnalo che tale scheda ha già la funzione TPM 2.0 integrata nel firmware del BIOS.
