TPM (Trusted Platform Module)

[lostsoul62]

I'm building a new computer and was wondering if I should get a TPM (Trusted Platform Module) to put on the motherboard?

With most motherboards or processors today have their own tpm built in. What motherboard and cpu are you getting?

As per John anything new should have it whether it's fTPM or a physical module without you having to do anything.

Motherboard is a (ASRock x870 steel legend wifi7)
CPU is a AMD Ryzen 9 9900X 12 core 24 thread
I'm getting from amazon
Do I need a (trusted platform module) which is a peace of hardware from amazon?

No do you do not need anything else as the cpu has the tpm integrated into it but you may have to enable the setting in the bios if it's not already. I can show you screenshot when I get to my pc.

Go into the bios and find this setting and make sure its enabled.

It will say AMD FTPM switch, this is just a screenshot from the owners manual bios setup guide.



And then you can look here to make sure its shows it enabled.

Thank you, I'll cancel the TMP hardware

Make sure you update to latest BIOS when you get it, but it has everything you need already in terms of hardware.
