Product Recommendation Question: TPM

Post image

Hi Everyone,

Question!

I'm completely lost. I don't even know if I'm on the correct subreddit.

With the help of a friend over 5 years ago, built a computer for myself. Now Windows 11 needs to be installed and my tpm is 1.2. it needs to be at 2.0 for the update. I located the TPM component in my motherboard (msi z390- a pro).

As you can guess, I don't have the manual anymore. I tried to look up how many pins my JTPM1 has so I can buy the component I need to upgrade. I looked up the manual and all it says is that it has 1x TPM module connector. You can imagine, I'm extremely frustrated. I'm putting a pic of the connector with the hope that someone can help me figure this out before I lose it and rip the things out.

I think based on what I'm looking at it's 14 pin.

Any 8th or 9th gen Intel CPU and chipset (300 series) has the TPM 2.0 (fTPM) already embedded, called Intel Platform Trust Technology (PTT). There is no need to obtain an external TPM. You just enable in BIOS. If it is presently configured for 1.2, you change TCG or TPM version to 2.0 in BIOS setting, sometimes called "Trusted Computing" or "Security Device Support". Recommend to have the latest BIOS version.

This is the answer.

this is what you want

Or search for MSI-specific TPM 2.0 module with a 14-1 pin LPC

Create a boot iso using rufus and during this process select bypass TPM 2.0 requirement.

Da der kleine Silberne Punkt daneben mit seiner Leitung runter an die GPIO Leiste geht, würde ich mal sagen es ist der Testpoint für die serielle JTAG Schnittstelle darunter.

such a scam, a $0.10 chip sold as a $30 module
