How To Check Motherboard for TPM Chip [Physical Method] [TPM 1.2/2.0] [Windows 11]

Here’s a physical method for how to see if your motherboard has a TPM chip to be able to install Windows 11!
Below is video how to check on your OS if you don’t want to open your PC: • TPM 2.0 Check If Your ...
Edit 1: some mobos have different pins for their TPM chips like 6 across by 2 down. You’d just need to purchase a different sized TPM chip than me.
Edit 2: touch metal to ground yourself, not wood.

[@Euclidean3141]

You don't ground yourself by touching wood. The TPM port is also labelled, just underneath when you point it out and say what it looks like it clearly says "TPM" printed on the board.

[@Asturceltax]

Hahahaha😂

[@YAHWH0]

ROFL touch an insulator to ground yourself. Smart. 🤣

[@YAHWH0]

Seriously though. Touch an unpainted copper pipe going into a radiator. Central heating systems will be grounded if installed correctly. You did get a professional to do it right? 🤪

[@InfernoAssassn]

Wood doesn't ground you lol. You gotta touch metal to ground yourself

[@Nextil]

Thx, added to desc

[@dashvideos4841]

lol just grab some wood to ground yourself. Be sure to join a mondongo party in order to properly ground yourself.

[@abdullahhamadeh]

true you should be ungrounded

[@SlavicUnionGaming]

Would standing on the ground already ground you

This is gold. I am going to buy my old pc's the new tpm 2.0 chip.

[@lenny108]

does this tpm 2.0 chip is the same for all boards?

[@MichaelMartinez-vi7ue]

@@lenny108 for all the new ones.
I looked at my pc motherboars and none of my do.
Mine were built 2013 and before.
If your pc has the tpm on the mother board the tpm chip will work.

[@stx6909dkjdnde]

Asus has 3 TPM 2.0 modules but not all motherboards support them I think
TPM-M R2.0 14-1 Pin
TPM-L R2.0 20-1 Pin
TPM-SPI 14-1 Pin
Hope this helped some ppl

[@worthington5687]

Thanks. And looking high and low, my ASUS WRX80e Sage DOES have the header, it's between the CPU and the long perforated/slotted metal cage next to the I/O.

[@ALEXITO090]

The problem is where to buy that tpm module chip. I only saw on internet the smallest chip (6x2 pins), but i have the bigger one, so, what can i do?

[@Nextil]

I have a gigabyte mobo so I typed in google gigabyte TPM 2.0 chip and there was a link to buy one for around $20

[@ALEXITO090]

@@Nextil Yeah i know but the problem is that the $20 chip is smaller than the header inside the mobo. Do you think that should work?

[@tosemcriatividade6698]

@@ALEXITO090 relax,maybe It Works

[@thatrandomguy2611]

Hey i found one for under 30 im currently double checking with the company selling the module to make sure it is compatible with mine which appears to be the same as in video which should be a gigabyte GA-990FXA-UB3 (rev 4.0)

[@AliAlJohani]

Thank you for the video, my Gigabyte Z79x got exactly the same port . But as per system information, secure boot is not supported. is tpm 2.0 module will fix this?

[@JayzBeerz]

joker said touch wood so you don't shock the system lmao

[@Kor1134]

This method only works for mobos that support add-on TPMs. My Dell Optiplex 5040 doesn't have a TPM header but used to have TPM 1.2 in the BIOS (keywords: used to). The TPM option disappeared from my BIOS one day, leading me to the conclusion that the TPM is dead, and I have no way to tell if any computer has an on-board TPM that died.

[@mahafuz361]

Nice!

[@Lita1]

👍

[@impaler_ferhan]

You are talking about the TPM connector which operates some other device using tpm connector ...
Microsoft requires tmp 2.0 chip where is it .
Chip is different

[@khanscombe619]

What year & chipset is your system? Did U ever install it to check if it passed the Windows 11 check or just using for bit locker key?

[@Nextil]

Nope I ordered the chip online but it was a scam & never was shipped.

[@ZaimAfham]

I found the header on my asrock b560m-hdv. What I have not found is the chip itself and also where to buy it. Laptop comes preinstalled with this module how come the pc motherboard did not include one with it?

[@Nextil]

Many mobos do not include this, sadly.

[@rayoloco5000]

my old asus board m5a97 evo fx8120, 32gb ram, gtx1030 has the port TPM.

[@tristemondomalato]

My asus h81m plus has a tpm slot without pins :/

[@7moodcamq8]

Mine is ryzen 9 5900x it doesn't have tpm built in and i want to buy tpm to install it on the motherboard but i don't know what tpm 2.0 is compatible with my motherboard ? help !!!!!

[@totalgaara]

Wood won't ground yourself, and buying TPM module just for a OS is really dumb

[@elia_ssss]

Maybe it's dumb in your opinion, but your opinion isn't a fact.

[@Nextil]

How else we gon git the OS 😂

im buy chip moodule us enable on bios but no work only stay off im think stay 10 LTSC beter then 11 :)

[@MrMikey1273]

I have a Gigabyte ab350m-ds3h board. I found that port on my board and did a Google search for the 20 pin tpm 2.0 module. However it seems every vendor is out of stock on them. Where is one to find a place to buy one? Is this something that we aren't going to be able to get. If so thats a shame that a computer that isn't that old now won't be able to run windows 11.

[@Nextil]

Not sure, I ordered one 4 hrs after the announcement lol

[@MrMikey1273]

@@Nextil others may have done so too and sold out the supply that was in stock.
Another thing is I found the AMD Ryzen 7 has fTPM already you just have to enable it in the BIOS. Then I still failed the 11 compatibility check. The Ryzen 7 1700 isn't in the widows 11 compatibility list of AMD processors now. Maybe it will be added because it meets the windows 11 requirements of 1.0Ghz, 64bit, 2 cores or better. Idk

[@Nextil]

Update the website i purchased TPM chip through said manufacturer cancelled the chip & I bought through different website. $38 instead of $19.

[@MrMikey1273]

@@Nextil I was able to work out the my Ryzen 7 1700 has a tpm device built in. I just had to turn it on in the BIOS. It was called AMD fTPM. Now win10 see it as a device. The issue is now that the CPU is not on Microsofts list of AMD supported CPUs yet. I an assuming it will be by launch because it's well above the minimum requirements.

[@NazmusLabs]

in the latest Canary channel in insider bills of Windows 11, all the methods to bypass TPM has been eliminated. Now, the only way to run windows in the future will be to have TPM.

See if your CPU has built in TPM, in which case just enable in bios . You don’t need physical TPM installed on your MB
