FM2A78M-HD+ and TPM 2.0

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   With the advent of Windows 11, my motherboard which is listed above needs TPM 2.0.  I have found a TPM Module on Amazon which has the same pin-out as the motherboard.  My question is will it recognize TPM 2.0 or am I going to waste money. Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

	Hi! First of all, please make sure that your CPU & rest of the hardware is supported by Windows 11! CPU: Intel 8th Gen (or newer); AMD 2nd Gen Ryzen "Zen+" (or newer). Video card: Compatible with DirectX 12! RAM minimum size: 4GB. Otherwise, you'll be throwing money away! PS: Most of those, supported, CPUs already have an fTPM 2.0 inside, so you won't need to buy a discrete one! I hope this clarifies it... Edited by NDRE28 - 06 Jul 2025 at 2:06am
