Compatibility Checklist — Before You Order

Please verify compatibility with your motherboard before purchasing.

1. Step 1 – Identify Your Motherboard's CPU Platform:
   • Intel Platform: Check the number in your motherboard model. Any number equal to or greater than 99 is supported (e.g., ASUS X99).
   • AMD Platform: Your motherboard must support DDR4 memory. DDR3 AMD boards (e.g., MSI 970A-G43) are not compatible.
2. Step 2 – Confirm Your TPM Header Pin Count: Locate the TPM header on your motherboard (typically near or above the PCIe slot area) and identify whether it is a 12-pin, 14-pin, 18-pin, or 20-pin connector. Select the matching module variant.

Example: ASUS B450-M — This is an AMD DDR4 board, so it is fully compatible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a TPM 2.0 module and why do I need one?

A: A TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module 2.0) is a dedicated hardware chip that handles cryptographic operations such as generating, storing, and managing encryption keys. It provides hardware-based security for features like BitLocker drive encryption and secure boot. It is also a mandatory hardware requirement for running Windows 11.

Q: How do I know which pin configuration (12-pin, 14-pin, 18-pin, 20-pin) my motherboard uses?

A: Check your motherboard manual or look physically at the TPM header on your motherboard — it is typically labeled "TPM" and located near or above the primary PCIe x16 slot. Count the number of pins on the header and select the matching module variant. When in doubt, consult your motherboard's official specification sheet.

Q: Is this TPM 2.0 module compatible with AMD Ryzen motherboards?

A: Yes, provided your AMD motherboard supports DDR4 memory. AMD motherboards that use DDR3 memory are not compatible with this module. Always confirm your memory type before ordering.

Q: Will this TPM 2.0 module allow me to upgrade to Windows 11?

A: In most cases, yes. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 as a hardware prerequisite. Installing this module on a compatible motherboard (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, or ASRock with a supported Intel or AMD DDR4 platform) and enabling it in BIOS should allow your system to meet the Windows 11 TPM 2.0 requirement.

Q: Do I need to enable the TPM module in my BIOS after installation?

A: Yes. After physically installing the TPM module into the header on your motherboard, you will need to enter your BIOS/UEFI settings and enable the TPM option. The exact menu location varies by motherboard brand, but it is usually found under the Security or Advanced settings section.
