The ASUS TPM-SPI is a Trusted Platform Module that fits the 14-1 pin TPM header on a compatible ASUS motherboard. It holds encryption keys, digital certificates and passwords in dedicated hardware rather than in software on the drive. Storing credentials on a separate chip is what makes the protection hold up when a machine is physically taken. Without the key on the module, an encrypted drive stays unreadable, so the security covers theft as well as remote attack. The module also underpins platform integrity checks at start-up and supports the TPM 2.0 requirement that Windows 11 places on new installations. The board is built on the Nuvoton NPCT750, which complies with the Trusted Computing Group specification family 2.0, revision 1.38. It carries Common Criteria EAL4+ and FIPS 140-2 certification, and meets CE and RoHS requirements. The module connects over the SPI interface and measures 16 x 13 mm, so it sits flat against the board without fouling nearby components. It is listed for Windows 10 on a UEFI system. Confirm your ASUS motherboard carries a 14-1 pin SPI TPM header before ordering, since pin count and interface vary between boards. Suited to office and home builds that need drive encryption, and to systems being prepared for an operating system that requires a hardware TPM.
