Dear Joe,

Thanks for posting!
Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, the H310CM-HDV supports the TPM module.

The module can be installed on the pg.7 #13 header.

Please refer to the following link for the TPM2.0 reference.

With thanks,

I don't require an answer to this forum topic now as I've now ended up choosing to buy an MSI motherboard instead.]]> Fri, 17 Jul 2020 04:36:52 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14922&PID=77334&title=would-using-a-tpm-module-strengthen-secure-boot#77334 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14922&PID=77203&title=would-using-a-tpm-module-strengthen-secure-boot#77203 Author: Joe789

Hi,

I'm planning to buy an Intel socket ASRock H310CM-HDV motherboard soon to assemble my new home PC and so I would appreciate it if someone could answer this question for me because if the answer is yes then I will defiantly want to buy a compatible ASRock TPM module as well (is this motherboard compatible with the ASRock TPM 2.0 module?) having had malware problems on one of my past PCs despite using security software and being cautious about what I executed on it.

I've read that although Secure Boot does not require a PC to have a TPM in order to function its recommended that a TPM be used to strengthen it, with TPMs being the safest place to store cryptographic keys.

So if I used a TPM module with this motherboard would its firmware have been implemented to take advantage of detecting the presence of a TPM module by using it to strengthen Secure Boot such as by storing its keys in the TPM instead of wherever else they would be stored if no TPM was available to store them in?]]> Sun, 12 Jul 2020 18:56:29 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=14922&PID=77203&title=would-using-a-tpm-module-strengthen-secure-boot#77203
