Hi,

First, thanks for helping. I'm trying to have TPM/PTT enabled on my 6700k as well, however my mobo is an ASUS Z170M-PLUS and looking for "TPM Device Configuration" in the text file extracted from the latest bios I can't find it, BUT :

I find many other various "TPM" or "PTT" entries. I'm on a 6700K and ASUS Z170M-PLUS mobo. I get "TPM State", "TPM Enabled Status", "TPM Active Status", "TPM Owner Status" and more importantly (I think) "TPM2.0 UEFI Spec Version" and "Device Select" with options "TPM 1.2" and "TPM 2.0". There's also a "Force TPM Enable"... I'm just lost here.

Can I still do something or am I sol ?


EDIT : just found a "PTT Configuration" with options for "PTP Aware OS" and "Not PTP Aware"

EDIT 2 : I was able to activate TPM. All is fine, except Windows still won't let me update JUST because my cpu isn't supported, even though the health tool shows everything else, including TPM being supported and activated. Oh, Microsoft...

So there you have it, proof that their reasons and excuses for not supporting older CPUs is 100 % arbitrary.

Hi All,

I have an Asus Z170M-PLUS running BIOS 3805 and Intel ME 11.8.55.3510 (both are the latest available from Asus).

I've made a change with grub ('setup_var 0xEFD 0x1' after looking through the setup_extr.txt file, this is referred to as "Security Device Support" - no idea if that helped or not). I changed this while still on an older ME (11.8.50.3470) and the change has stuck.

MEInfoWin64 shows "Intel(R) Platform Trust Technology - PRESENT/ENABLED" but the FPF shows PTT disabled and Windows doesn't show any TPM support. This is the trimmed output:

Am I screwed? I guess there's no way to change the FPFs?

@leonleonleon - I think we have the same board - can you let me know your BIOS / ME version and a dump from MEInfoWin64 please? How did you get it working on your board?


Thanks,

Jono

Yes, my situation too. If it's disabled in FPFs there's nothing to do.

Did you boot in FULL UEFI mode ? (CSM Disabled)

---

My CSM is disabled

---

I suggest you update ME firmware to the latest version,such as CSME 11.8 Consumer H D,A v11.8.86.3909

---

What is ME? How could I update that?

---

...
install Intel MEI Drivers,use FWUpdate can simply update MEv11 in Windows

---

I have finally managed to update that. Yet nothing changes.
I set setup_var 0x687 0x01 and it resets after reboot.
Nothing new in the BIOS.

But I think I found something weird in the setup_extr.txt, could it be that it's always suppressing it? Please check the screenshot

---

Could anyone take a look at this screenshot? Does it mean it's always disabled no matter what?

Edit: here is the full scale image

---

I have tried to follow @maxdarksol's steps on my Z170-K motherboard. But latest version -v3805- doesn't have "TPM Device Selection" in setup_extr file. Latest version that has "TPM Device Selection" is v0704 which is quite old version. What should i do? I don't think ASUS will adress to TPM issue on old motherboards in the near future. You can find both version's setup-extr files below.

Adjusting UEFI hidden settings without flash mod_BIOS
1.get your BIOS(Download from the official website of the device or back up your current BIOS with AFUWIN64)
2.Using AMI setup IFR extractor in UBU to get configuration file offset
3.Find the "setup_extr.txt" of your motherboard from the ubu directory,open it.
4.ctrl+F Search the key words"TPM Device Selection" for Intel motherboard
5.get the VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName) and Option,
such as “One Of: TPM Device Selection, VarStoreInfo (VarOffset/VarName): 0x6A6, VarStore: 0x1, QuestionId: 0x279D, Size: 1, Min: 0x0, Max 0x1, Step: 0x0 {05 91 5E 10 5F 10 9D 27 01 00 A6 06 14 10 00 01 00}
Default: DefaultId: 0x0, Value (8 bit): 0x0 {5B 06 00 00 00 00}
One Of Option: dTPM, Value (8 bit): 0x0 {09 07 61 10 00 00 00}
One Of Option: PTT, Value (8 bit): 0x1 {09 07 60 10 00 00 01}”
6.Make a support setup_var command grub boot disk:a FAT32 Udisk,make dir /efi/boot/bootx64.efi
7.disable secure boot,and boot to the Udisk
8.use the command "setup_var 0x6A6",output the result "0x0",it means dTPM.You can type"setup_var 0x6A6 0x1" to transfer PTT.
9.Shut down your coumuter,boot to windows10, run tpm.msc,Check TPP start or not.
10.go to UEFI enable the secure boot.

Working perfectly on my Asus Maximus VIII Hero + i7 6700K. "setup_var 0x6A6 0x1" did the job. Thanks!

PD: I have the latest Intel Management Engine (ME) Firmware Version 11.8.86.3909(S&H)(1.5Mo) + UEFI uptated to the latest microcode with UBU.

For those who can't enable this setting, the key is the Intel ME firmware, latest ones disable the presence in ME and prevent the variables to stick after reboot, if these aren't enabled before the update.
So the only solution is an external flasher to reflash the whole SPI chip with a clean image containing the old ME firmware, after enabling the boot up TPM with FIT, then enabling the variables with grub ambient, and updating the ME firmware after that.
If you can't understand these things, really, don't try, or you'll probably brick your motherboard. It's not for newbies...

Coffee lake works on z170, there is even a tool to flash bios on this website

Coffee lake won't help getting TPM presented from the board to the OS though, which is the topic of this conversation.

That's intriguing though, so there's a way to flash BIOS to make an LGA 1151 socket accept 8th gen CPU's - meaning LGA 1151v2? I'm sure there's quite a few stipulations that go along with that.

To see if a standard Z170 is TPM-enabled; download the tools CSME System Tools v11 r42 @: mega.nz/folder/qdVAyDSB#FLCPaDVIsPYiy2TAUjD7RQ. Use Flash Image Tool (fit.exe) to look inside the BIOS. (The right tool in combination with the 6th gen Sky Lake CPU. Later versions supports later gen's. Only this one is good for a Z170 i.c.w. i7-6700K)

Put it's focus onto the Intel (R) H Series Chipset. The only one who will show in the next field; the Z170 chipset as an option. At the Platform Protection you can see under that part that PTT is enabled as standard. No need to change it then. (See below) It just needs a TPM 2.0 board to put into the TPM header. (14-1 pin with a gap at pin 10) If you buy the official ASUS TPM-M R2.0 14-1 pin board that wouldn't be any problem.



I have seen other 14-1 pin boards where the gap was located at pin 14. (TMP2.0-SPI board) There are 2 TMP 2.0 boards;
• The normal TPM 14-1 TPM 2.0 board (Parallel Interface) with a gap at pin 10.
• A TPM 14-1 TPM-SPI 2.0 board (SPI; Serial Peripheral Interface is also called a four-wire serial bus) with a gap at pin 14.
Take first a hard look at your TMP 2.0 header before you buy any 14-1 pin TPM 2.0 board. Even all kind of other brands make use of their own standards. No one standard is the same what result in @: amazon.com/s?k=tpm+2.0+module
It ranges from 12-1, 14-1, 18-1, 20-1, SPI or not. Even since the introduction of Windows 11 their prices suddenly skyrocketed.

With Windows 11 the focus is real onto TPM2.0. All Intel CPUs' are divided into 3 groups;
1 - CPU <8th gen: not supported.
2 - CPU >8th gen - 9th gen must have a cryptographic chip onto the motherboard: supported.
3 - CPU >10th gen ?do? have a cryptographic chip integrated into the CPU: supported.

I have a motherboard (Maximus VIII Ranger) with a TPM 2.0 header and a 6th gen (i7-6700K, LGA 1151) CPU. I refuse in order to get TPM 2.0 capabilities to buy a new CPU and motherboard.
Currently my machine runs Windows 11 because I skipped the TPM and CPU requirements. All I have to do is to buy an official ASUS 14-1 TMP-M R2.0 module with a gap at pin 10. (In theory) Buying that would solve the TPM 2.0 requirement. (I hope)
All that CPU requirements is BS; My i7-6700K can run with the TPM requirement. I think that Microsoft wants to see that everybody bought a new laptop / CPU & Motherboard.

Hello,
My problem is: TPM 2.0 present in TPM.SMC. To configure it in the impossible bios there is no Trested Compuging menu I opened the bios file with AMIBCP, I can modify the parameters but when I want to flash the bios the file is not recognized as a file EUFI. I have done some research on the net and there are several people who have the same problem on the Asus ROG G703 GXR machine. On win dows update I can update to windows 11 but here after several attempts I ended up wondering if the PC is compatible.

@hader

Thanks for the input. I forgot to mention in my post that the Maximus VIII Impact does not have a TPM header for that jumper board.

The FIT program does show PTT enabled however. As I mentioned, this board just used borrowed code but lacks the actual hardware to get PTT actually working.

Hello, I have i7-8700k running on Asus Maximus VIII Extreme. I modified grub value 0x6A6 to 0x1 without problems, when I reboot it continues with 0x1 (enabled TPM). But Windows doesn't recognize it.

My question is: Can PTT to be enabled if Intel ME is disabled in order to run 8700k in this motherboard?
Do you know if I have to enable Intel ME for have TPM running?

I'm no expert, but after reading the entire thread, I get the impression PTT is part of Intel ME... When you run the ME Info tool, it shows info about PTT, so I assume there's a connection.
You're probably familiar with ME firmware and tools: Intel (Converged Security) Management Engine: Drivers, Firmware and Tools

Sharing for anyone else that has a similar setup (Z170 Pro Gaming + i5 6600K). I've managed to get Win 11 running, with TPM + Secure Boot.

While the Z170 Pro Gaming does support TPM Firmware (PTT), it turns out that the Skylake K series processors don't all support PTT. The i5 6600K being one of them.

I ended up buying a $20 TPM module and plugging it into the TPM header on the Z170 Pro. Turned on Secure Boot in bios, and then used the Microsoft registry hack to bypass Win 11 requirements for the CPU. I was then able to upgrade to Win 11 using the ISO method. Been on Win 11 since my last post on this forum - and no issues so far.

Hi. I have a MSI H81M-E33 motherboard, bios is 7817v68.zip (attached) and cpu is i3-4150. There's no option in the bios to enable TPM/PTT but I think it should be possible as on the Asus? I did some of the steps in this thread and got the setup_extr.txt (attached), no hit for "TPM Device Selection" but there are many hits for TPM. Any advice or next steps? Appreciate it.

No one had success in Intel 8 and older chipset by the info provided in this thread, some Intel 9 had some unofficial beta/requested bios, but the info on this thread is mainly for Intel 100 up on unsupported mainboards/chipset,
so dont expect nothing more.
