TPM2.0 Module for GIgabyte Motherboard 

 

 [Description]

Note: The Windows 11 announcement came with a few very specific requirements from Microsoft in order to run the new OS on a PC, one of which was the need for a TPM 2.0 chip. 

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip quite simply is a hardware component that adds an extra layer of security to a Windows computer. 

It creates a physical barrier protecting a device and user credentials from malware and attackers that threaten it. The chips are either integrated into the PC's motherboard or added to 

the CPU.

Microsoft puts a large emphasis on security within its systems and has done so for a long time. Microsoft claims that $1 billion a year is invested into security measures to ensure 

the safety of its OS and the user. This is done by ensuring the OS is backed by certain hardware, like the TPM 2.0 chip. With security threats only rising and Windows often 

at the center of these attacks, it only stands to reason that Microsoft wants to ensure ever-increasing safety for its users.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) technology is designed to provide hardware-based, security-related functions. A TPM chip is a secure crypto-processor that helps you with actions 

such as generating, storing, and limiting the use of cryptographic keys. Many TPMs include multiple physical security mechanisms to make it tamper resistant, and malicious software is unable to tamper with the security functions of the TPM.

Traditionally, TPMs have been discrete chips soldered to a computer’s motherboard. Such implementations allow you as the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to evaluate 

and certify the TPM separate from the rest of the system. Some newer TPM implementations integrate TPM functionality into the same chipset as other platform components while still providing logical separation similar to discrete TPM chips.

TPMs are passive: they receive commands and return responses. To realize the full benefit of a TPM, you must carefully integrate system hardware and firmware with the TPM to 

send it commands and react to its responses. TPMs provide security and privacy benefits for system hardware, platform owners, and users. 

This TPM 2.0 Module can be pluged into computer's motherboard as a trusted platform module.

If there is a 2*10 socket on the motherboard, it means that the motherboard supports the TPM module GC-TPM, and does NOT support our product.	If the motherboard is a 2*6 socket, but "TPM" is written on the socket, it means that the supported TPM2.0 module is GC-TPM2.0_S, and does NOT support our product.	If the motherboard is a 2*6 socket, and SPI_TPM is written on the socket, it means that this product is supported. After inserting the module, you can upgrade your computer.
