Question Are there any motherboards for i5 4th gen that have the TPM chip already present ?

[AloyDeo]

My friend wants to play Valorant, his PC has:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H81m-ds2 rev 3.0,
CPU: i5-4570,
GPU: PowerColor RX 580

What I tried:

• I've tried to enable the trusted computing, but i didnt find any Trusted Computing option in the BIOS.
• I've already updated the BIOS to F3 version but still no Trusted Computing option.,
• I checked in administrator powershell and typed "get-tpm" and it shows TPMPresent: False .

Is there any motherboard recommendation that has a TPM already present, preferably sticking into the existing i5-4570,

thx.

All Intel chipsets for Haswell support PTT which is the Intel equivalent of AMD's fTPM.

Unfortunately this is only TPM 1.2 and Valorant requires 2.0. There were supposedly non-motherboard-specific TPM 2.0 add-on cards in the works years ago but but I never heard any more about them.

I have a similar PC. Mine is i5-4430 on an ASRock H81M-HDS motherboard. I've been studying this whole issue about TPM extensively.

You need to verify which version of TPM your motherboard supports. Likely it's 1.2. TPM 1.2 and 2.0 are not interchangeable, and it's not a matter of software/firmware/BIOS/UEFI, if I understand correctly. My understanding is that it's a hardware design.

Once you know which TPM version your motherboard supports, you can buy an add-on TPM module. I just recently got one for my board, and I now have working TPM 1.2 on this PC. I'm guessing that yours is also v 1.2.

There are plenty of TPM 2.0 add-on modules, but if your board was not designed for it, then there's no point getting one--it will not work.

As for your original question, my guess is that motherboards of that generation did not ever have TPM already present unless they were pre-built systems, like certain laptops. For builders buying standalone motherboards, I think they all feature the TPM port but you have to get the module for it separately.

TPM is in all new CPUs for a while now and BIOS support too. For Windows 11 you need to be in UEFI mode to use it, just enable if it wasn't. Most new BIOS versions enable it by default. In Intel CPUs and MBs for it starts with 9th gen and now MS requires TPU 2.0 starting with 11th gen AMD Ryzen since 2nd gen.
That MB should have a connector for a TPM module but you have to get one that is recommended for your particular MB. They are not expensive although not easy to find.
