Asus TPM-M R2.0 Hardware Security Chip - Metallic

Was a bit apprehensive before ordering this module as another reviewer complained that the pin configuration was incorrect. However it looks like there was nothing to worry about as it plugged straight into the motherboard and on boot up going into the BIOS and setting it up was straight forward. Just enable TPM and secure boot and boot into Windows You can check if secure boot was enabled correctly by running MSINFO32 from the search tool in Windows. Installing this TPM module allowed me to run games that wouldn't run before because the various Anti-Cheat software employed by games required secure boot - FIFA 23, Valorant to name a couple.Not much more to review but I've included some images which should help anyone checking to see if it will fit the TPM header on their own motherboard. As far as I can tell 14 pin TPM headers are pretty much the same configuration and you don't have to stick with the same brand as your motherboard. This was one of the cheapest out there - it's very small and works great.

It's as easy as plug and play. When ordering be sure to check the pin coding. Mine fit perfectly and after installing onto my motherboard I was able to upgrade to windows 11 without any issues.Remember check pin configuration on mb before purchasing.

My ASUS motherboard is the ASUS Z170i Pro Gaming and it wouldn't support Windows 11 without a TPM2 chip.There's a small header for the chip just above the graphics card slot. (It's in the manual).Fit the chip then activate it in the BIOS.......pretty simple and effective.Now Windows 11 will work without hacking registries etc...I thought the chip was too expensive at £22 hence only 4 stars.Everything else was COOL

I have an "ancient" (Since 2017) X370 Prime Pro motherboard which has had 2 Cpu upgrades and still going strong and needed this to make it Win 11 compliant. Just had to plug in the TPM module. re-boot and away. System now ready for WIn 11 upgrade.

Plugged it in. All working ok. Does not work with windows 7. It would have been nice if that was mentioned. Still trying to find a work-around.

Everything as described and delivered within the specified time.

Worked perfectly on my Z370-F... Just plugged it in, enabled it in the BIOS and then booted into Windows and ran tpm.msc to check that it's been detected OK, that there aren't any warnings and that it's on the latest version (5.63.3144.0).All good there, so I went ahead and encrypted a couple of disks and that was that... It also allowed me to automatically unlock the BitLocker to go drives that I'd set up previously, so bonus...Great purchase for less than a tenner (although arguably they should already be included on any modern motherboard by default)The firmware update process looks like a bit of a faff, so make sure you double check that and get it out of the way before you get too stuck in... Hopefully all new devices they sell are already on the latest version though.

Works fine, massively over priced though
