Asus 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.

Product compatible with my strix asus motherboard. Was able to upgrade my os from windows 10 to windows 11. Plugged it to my motherboard, rebooted my pc and it recognized it right away.

Didn't work for me. Couldn't plug it into my motherboard. Motherboard has a 14-1 connector with the -1 pin in the middle of the connector. The module has the -1 pin on the corner of the connector. The module is not compatible with my motherboard contrary to what the Asus website says. I'm sure it works great with the correct motherboard, but unfortunately that isn't what I have.

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.

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.
