This is a discrete TPM 2.0 module for desktop PC motherboards. It has an ultra-compact horizontal form factor, so it will not interfere with other components such as your video card or cables. It was originally engineered and manufactured for industrial field applications, offering excellent reliability. Generally, discrete TPM module solutions are more reliable than fTPM solutions. They can also help avoid certain issues users have experienced with fTPM, such as: - Encryption key data being wiped out during BIOS updates - Credentials lost or invalidated after CPU upgrade or replacement (even when replacing with the same CPU model) - Random CPU stuttering or performance issues, particularly on Intel 11th Gen and AMD Ryzen 5000 series CPUs Color: Black Material: Plastic Style: LPC 18-PIN Security Module Installation: You can easily install the module yourself in a few simple steps: 1. Power off your PC and unplug it. 2. Plug the TPM module into the corresponding header on your motherboard. 3. Power on the PC and enter the BIOS to enable TPM 2.0 settings. 4. Reboot into your operating system. The system will perform initialization and configuration automatically in the background. No further action is required. 5. Optionally, you can check the TPM module and its status in Device Manager or TPM Management.
