Hi!
I apologize for "my" English but I do not speak English and I use Google Translator. I have Asrock Z97 Extreme6 motherboard and I want to use the TPM function because I need encryption. I bought the appropriate Asrock TPM2-S module (TPM V2.0). Unfortunately, it does not work. In UEFI, "SUPPORT TURNED OFF" is displayed on the "Advanced \ Trusted Computing" page. Both options are included. I do not know what to do. I have not heard anywhere that my motherboard does not work with TPM2-S. I also do not want to change my motherboard to another one. I would be very grateful for your help. Thanks pollanonim |

I have same problem with ASRock Extreme6 MB (running 2.80 BIOS) and TPM2-S module. After installation, Win 10 (64 bit) says "Compatible TPM cannot be found on this computer. Verify that this computer has a 1.2 TPM or later and it is turned on in the BIOS." I have reinstalled the TPM several times and no iteration of BIOS setting in the Advanced\Trusting Computing screen seems to work. I have removed the TPM and set the Auto Detect Security Device to "Disabled", rebooted, then shutdown the PC. I then installed the TPM, rebooted, and the Advanced\Trusting Computing screen now shows the Auto Detect Security Device has been "Enabled" but the message below Current Status Information says "SUPPORT TURNED OFF". And Win 10 still says TPM not found. No matter what BIOS sequence I use to boot up, I cannot get the system to recognize the TPM. The 2.80 BIOS is the latest version offered by ASRock and does not fix the problem. I have emailed ASRock Technical Support on 3 separate occasions regarding the issue and still do not have a reply...frustrating. I have seen similar TPM issues with other ASRock MB's where ASRock support sent them a BIOS fix. I would like to know if I have the wrong type of TPM or if I need a BIOS fix. Thanks ------------- gcole |

Dear pollanonim and gcole, I had the exact same problem with TPM 2.0 and bios 2.80 with my Z97 extreme6 (the module was physically installed on the mobo, but the bios stated "SUPPORT TURNED OFF"). Fortunately, I emailed ASRock Technical Support and I was just sent a beta bios to try out (2.80A). For me, it completely solved the problem (i.e. Windows 10/11 fully recognizes the TPM 2.0 support). Please find it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17LkyYA2Ofoca3o6Z4KRe5xUKpziji5qJ/" rel="nofollow - https://drive.google.com/file/d/17LkyYA2Ofoca3o6Z4KRe5xUKpziji5qJ/ Let me know if it solves your problem as well. Have a nice day. Paolo |

This seems to have worked for me too. Thanks for sharing! I was stuck on a particular old Win11 Insider build because their policy changed and none of the cumulative updates would install properly any more without finding a TPM. Installing a TPM2-S, using this BIOS, and then doing an in-place Win11 install of a newer build got me working and back on the update flow again. Yay! I'd tried doing an in-place install before but it wouldn't work without finding a TPM. Thanks! |

Hello, I am also running to the same issue and unable to find the firmware version 2.80a (the link posted previously is no longer valid and online searches have come up empty). Does anyone know how this version can be obtained? |

Hello, sorry to be speaking with Google Translate. Does anyone know if there's a BIOS version for the Extreme 6 3.1 that's compatible with TPM 2.0? I can't access the support page from Spain. Sorry and thanks. I have the same problem as you guys but in version Extreme 6 3.1 |

Hi! @rubio I don't know. ChatGPT says the Extreme6 BIOS isn't compatible with Extreme6/3.1, but you can modify the latest Extreme6/3.1 BIOS 1.60 to include TPM. You'll have to research how. Maybe ChatGPT can help you. Maybe there's something on the XDA Forums. If you succeed, come back here and describe how you did it or post a link to the finished BIOS. I think someone else might find it useful. Good luck. |

Hi! @rubio This is what ChatGPT told me. https://pastebin.com/0n0gdyaz" rel="nofollow - https://pastebin.com/0n0gdyaz Of course, I can't guarantee anything. I don't even know if ChatGPT is right. You do this entirely at your own risk. I won't accept any complaints, claims, or claims. Good luck. |

I flashed my Asrock Z97 Extreme 6 with 280a and installed a TPM 2.0 module. I am trying to get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 (released OCT 2026) to run on this MOBO with a NVIDIA TITAN Black GPU. Activision has a CODSecureAttestationWizard which returns: TPM 2.0 Good Secure Boot Good !Attestation Requisite not met -New key Generation Required or BIOS Firmware Update recommended. When I generate new key it fails and tells me I need a BIOS Firmware update. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance! |

Sorry Valis Video, you are out of luck this time I am afraid. It seems certain software entities are doing everything they can to render older hardware obsolete. Now even Ryzen 2000 series are below the cut line. Every time someone comes up with a workaround, they force new requirements. I am hoping the EU is going to crack down on this e-waste generation mechanism and ban the practice. I am sure it's obvious but I find this entire TPM nonsense utterly despicable. There is absolutely no reason an i7 4790k shouldn't still be able to handle any modern game on the hardware performance side of things. Your only option is to either find someone that can hack the BIOS to add the new keys or learn to do it yourself. Given how long it's been since this issue began I am going to guess that it isn't something easily done, if it is even possible at all. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. -------------

I will see what activision says about it. I am trying to buy the game from them. Yes, my system was designed for Video and Audio post production so it should be able to handle what COD throws at it, especially since they mention scalability. |

They will probably feed you some nonsense about security and how the anti-cheat requires blah blah to keep players secure from hacking and cheaters. I am hoping to see some major pushback on this. Anti-cheat is important, there is no denying that but the way things are going these big publishers are going to start hemorrhaging players. You are the 11th person this week alone that I have seen looking for a fix for "unsupported hardware" on various forums and discord channels. That isn't counting the overlap, you can tell it's the same person on different platforms by their specs. Every last one of them was complaining about the new COD anti-cheat. Good luck, give them hell. -------------
