DIY ASUS TPM-M R2.0 Module

It's kinda hard to find those TPM modules that no one knew they needed - UNTIL Windows 11 happened. So here's one in case you need it.

There are many variants, so please use this as a reference to create your own.

Adapt to Asrock Motherboards

This module can also work on Asrock motherboards if you use THIS adapter!

Note: You do NOT have to follow the links I used. The specs are pretty laid out so you can source your own parts if you prefer.

3D Printed Shell (Optional)

Suggested layer height: 0.16mm.
Suggested line width: 0.35mm.
Uses two 6mm M2 screw and nut.

Assembly

You have to know how to solder VERY well. Experience in soldering TSSOP and SMD components is required.

Note the pin header should be keyed. You can cut a piece of the compatible pin and stuff it into the hole on the bottom row, the 3rd one from the right.

Note: if you are an amateur on soldering, this might not be a bad project to learn how to solder, since everything is quite affordable. Learn how to pre-tin SMD pads for caps and resistor, how to tack a chip in place, and then drag solder alone one side, then the other. We all have to start from somewhere.

Installation

Jam it onto your motherboard with power turned OFF (I don't have to teach you the basics, right?) For my motherboard, once booted into the BIOS, the chip is automatically recognized and ready to go. Windows 10 also recognized it without any fuss.

Updating TPM Chip Firmware

The firmware version on the chip might be quite out-dated and requires an update to work properly with Windows. Please refer to the following guides on how to update the firmware on your TPM chip:

Note: It is possible that your chips might come with a rare firmware version and no update could be found. You might have to find a different seller and try your luck if that's the case.
