Z97X-SLI with TPM ?
ClarkBender:
As Windows 11 will be released in few months. I may have a problem. I have Z97X-SLI motherboard with i7 4790K.
With Windows 11, I will need TPM 2.0.
I don't know what to do. I don't know which TPM chip to buy. A person have said that my motherboard can't have any TPM. Is that true ?
Can I buy a TPM 2.0 for my motherboard ? My PC is custom built.

I have a Gigabyte Z97X motherboard and have ordered a GC-TPM2.0 module from Scan. Check you MB manual and see if it has a header and then search google for the module that goes with your computer. Good Luck

I have a Z97X-Gaming 3 MB and I also would like to find one of these modules/headers.
According to GB Australia, there is but ONE places in NSW that is SUPPOSED to have them but they say they have NEVER heard of such a thing and other places that purport to have them are SOLD out and it looks that only SCALPERS will have them. Is GB thinking of supplying again these items or, is it Tough and buy a New motherboard, CPU and memory?

Strongly Agreed. The TPM chip had used to been $25 ..but as now, it's around $250 ha ha Crazy, huh?
If I want to upgrade, it will cost be over $1,000 and the funny part, I had upgraded two years ago LOL
Perhaps in year 2023, I may upgrade. Windows 10 will have Support until year 2025 anyways ....plus I also have few LinuxOS as well.

I understand what you mean, I downloaded the MS application to test if your PC is ready for Windows 11 and I was shocked when it said my PC can't run Windows 11.
You need to have a look on your motherboard and look for a socket like the one in the image,... sorry for the quality ;)

If your motherboard as a socket like this, then you can buy the TPM Module like this

Get it fast, because most I've found on eBay are selling for like £50+ and this one on Scan.co.uk is only £18 that's including postage.
I've ordered mine ;)
