Asus TPM-SPI Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

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. Well, at least not with this generation. Install was as simple as finding the pins on the board and dropping it in. Still needed to flash to the latest BIOS to enable. Still wouldnt let me us fTPM, but this chip worked like a charm. Windows Updater finally showed my board as ready for Win11. Still dont want it, but at least my board is finally complete for when Im forced to switch over.

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.

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.

Worked like a charm. Not much to it. Plugged it in and made a couple of BIOS changes.

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.

Works with my Asus TUF gaming X570-plus (wi-fi) motherboard. It took two reboots before Win10 would recognize it. Once it did the upgrade to win11 went smoothly.

This one was supposed to be the "cats meow" however, even checking the description and using the Model Number, Serial number, 14-1 pin out, it was not configured correctly so could not use it. Besides, that sucker was so small, but it was the pinout that was the problem.Check with Asus and make sure the pinouts are correct. Mine is 14 header pins and 1 pin blocked. Is yours

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.
