So I have an ASUS H87M-PLUS, and it has a 20-1 TPM module connector, and I'm like 99% sure that the TPM module that I need is the TPM-L R2.0, it uses the same connector, and is TPM 2.0. The only problem is that one of these is like $120 for some reason. Like no-one has one pretty much, and anyone who does have one is trying to flip it for a lot since they're hard to find I guess. So my actual question, is can I use a different companies TPM module? Like I can get a Gigabyte one for like $20 rather than $120, it says it's TPM 2.0, uses the 20-1 connector, and even has a strikingly similar design, like the little IC looks to be both the same and in the same position. But will it work? Will it fry my motherboard or the TPM module? Will the BIOS even recognize it?

Why bother though? Your platform won't support windows 11 once it's released to retail so you're basically stuck on 10 until you upgrade the platform anyway.

Dont bother.

Core 4000 wont support it and there will probably be tpmless bypasses

I could use some help with this!
