He shows that he’s designed a new, V1.1 version with an updated connector, too, and published its (untested but should work) design files for us on GitHub.
He wired up a small adapter to make his assembled V1.0 boards work, and Windows 11 installed without any TPM complaints. After both arrived, assembled the boards, and found one small mistake – he designed a module for 2.54mm pin headers, but his motherboard had 2.0mm headers. So, as any self-respecting hacker, he went the DIY way, and it went with hardly a hitch.įollowing the schematic from the datasheet, he quickly made a simple KiCad layout, matching it to the pinout from his motherboard’s user manual, then ordered the boards from PCBWay and SLB9665 chips from eBay. has checked online marketplace listings for a TPM module for his Gigabyte AORUS GAMING 3 motherboard, and found out they started at around 150EUR – which is almost as much as the motherboard itself costs. We’ve been getting chips and soldering them onto boards of our own design, instead – and ’s project is one more example of that. Since Windows 11 has announced its TPM module requirement, the prices for previously abundant and underappreciated TPM add-on boards for PC motherboards have skyrocketed.
