   Is there a version of this Z97 Killer 2.60a f/w for Z97X Killer?  I put a TPM2.0 module into my Z97X Fatality Killer and it detects it with new secure boot bios menu options avail, but won't allow it to run.

	You will have to open a support ticket and ask ASRock Tech Support to help you out. They may tell you the product is EOL and no longer supported however. Edited by Xaltar - 25 Jul 2025 at 11:41pm

	Hello! I have an ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer 3.1 motherboard. My previous motherboard was an ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer, which was able to recognize and support the TPM 2.0 module after updating the BIOS to version Z97Kill2.60a. However, this motherboard (ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer 3.1) uses a completely different BIOS, and I haven't been able to find a compatible BIOS version that supports the TPM 2.0 module. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution? Is it possible that a BIOS version from another ASRock motherboard could work with it? Thank you!

	Hi sheriff80. Sadly I don't have a BIOS for that board myself. I am not sure it will remain a valid option for long anyway. Recently the latest COD anti-cheat began requiring an additional BIOS update to work. I suspect windows and other programs will quickly follow suit. MS is dead set on forcing obsolescence on anything before their predetermined cutoff point.... Even Ryzen 2000 series CPUs are now no longer properly supported. On my older systems I have moved to linux or windows 10 and simply forgoing updates. I believe the Rufus tool will allow you to disable TPM, Secure Boot and RAM requirement checks when installing windows 11 however. How long that will work I can't say but it is an option to at least install the OS. Personally, I would prefer to be done with windows altogether but sadly I need it for a number of my work related apps....
