I find it utterly ridiculous that a system capable of solid FPS at a decent frame
rate is suddenly redundant because of a stupid "security" feature. In my case it
hasn't been an issue, I don't really game that much anymore and when I do it's on
my main system so Linux has been my go to operating system on my spare systems for
a long while now. With Bazzite and other gaming focused distros the game support
is surprisingly good these days but it still rules out games like BO7 that require
TPM 2.0 to even run. The "anti cheat" excuse is pretty weak IMHO. I am still expecting
to see a reversal for MMOFPS and games like LoL once they drop players. A large
portion of the player bases for these games are on "unsupported hardware", particularly
with RAM prices/shortages preventing a lot of people from upgrading.

Time will tell I guess. I personally suspect one of 2 things will happen:
1. Games will remove TPM 2.0 requirements.
2. A third party will implement TPM 2.0 on unsupported hardware.

The third option is its wishful thinking....

11 years out of a system is good going ]]> Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:16:51 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9146&PID=201978&title=z97-extreme-4-tpm-version-support#201978 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9146&PID=201975&title=z97-extreme-4-tpm-version-support#201975 Author: KILL3R_B

Damn, I guess the naming isn't consistent between models. Someone here found a
version 2.50b for an 8x series board that worked. One thing I am sure of however;
if it's on the board's official product page then it doesn't support TPM 2.0.

JZ (here on the forums) or "u/CornFlakes1991" (on redit) has a very well maintained
BIOS repository here:
https://botflakes.de/asrockwiki/bios/intel/

It may be worth looking at BIOS versions that are no longer listed on ASRock's
website but still exist on JZ's repository. The date should be around 2017 if
that helps. Sadly I don't have any 8x/9x boards to test with.

Good luck guys, hopefully someone will either find or be able to create an update
that works for this. To be very clear, I do not speak for ASRock, I am only a
community moderator so this is just my own personal interest, hoping that this
thread will help someone.

I have already migrated all my old/unsupported systems to linux and they all work
perfectly for what I need.

The one you sent is from z97Killer, I looked at version 2.50A and it doesn't have the TPM 2.0 files.

I looked at version 2.50B from z97xKiller but it also doesn't have the files for TPM 2.0.

Yeah, unfortunately that seems to be the case until someone creates a 3rd party
fix. There was a BIOS version 2.50 for some boards that supported TPM 2.0 but sadly
I don't have it and ASRock was forced to take them all down when Microsoft set the
"minimum requirements" for windows 11.

You could try asking on various forums/discord/redit etc if anyone has version
2.50 for your board. I believe it was a beta BIOS that was released for most of
the 8x and 9x series boards ASRock made. From what I remember it was released
shortly after TPM 2.0 superseded TPM 1.2.

If you do manage to find it, hit me up with a PM so I can put it in my archives
for anyone else who needs it. I have had no luck with 9x series boards myself. ]]> Fri, 04 Sep 2026 02:58:59 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=9146&PID=201969&title=z97-extreme-4-tpm-version-support#201969
