Gig GC-TPM2.0_S - Gigabyte TPM Module GC-TPM2.0_S

Product Information

If missing a chip means Microsoft reaches the end of intrusively forcing non-optional probably-broken "upgrades" onto your system, then that's probably a good thing.

B550 series, A520 series TRX40-series, X399-series, X570 series, X470 series, B450 series, X370 series, B350 series So maybe I'm just biased, but so far Windows 11 looks the operating system equivalent of a Samsung Galaxy S21. Gigabyte has two modules available in the U.S. The GC-TPM2.0 supports Intel 200-series boards all the way down to 9-series (Z97 & X99, for example) as well as AM4 and FM2 boards (we assume it supports all AM4 and FM2 boards as Gigabyte doesn't specify chipset models).Even if you are in the very small category of people who doesn't have one, and actually needs any of the "none" new functionality enhancements offered by Microsoft's newest, slower, bulkier, buggier, data-stealingest, less-customizable reskin of vista.

This means that when using a TPM, the data on our PC will be safe not only from external software threats, but also physical theft. The GIGABYTE TPM GC-TPM 2.0 features the SLB9665, an advanced 2048-bit cryptographic processor by Infineon ®. The SLB9665 by Infineon processor meets all the latest industry standards including TPM 2.0 as well as Common Criteria (EAL4+). The GC-TPM2.0_S is a newer module designed to support the much more recent Intel 300-series chipset boards and X299 for HEDT platforms. For AMD, this TPM module supports all 500, 400, and 300 series boards and TRX40 for Threadripper. This chip doesn't support FM2 motherboards, unlike the other Gigabyte module. Before that, the improvements were just a laundry list of making the worst parts of windows 8 have a bit more of the functionality of Windows 7; like ditching the unusable "start screen". When was the last time Microsoft added anything to Windows that you actually found useful, or at a minimum could uninstall? I think for me it was the Snip tool, which they are removing for the objectively worse "snip and sketch".
