Overview
The ASUS TPM-SPI is a discrete Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 accessory designed for compatible motherboards and systems with a dedicated SPI TPM header. It provides hardware-based security functions for protecting cryptographic keys, digital certificates, authentication credentials, and other security-related data.
The module uses the Nuvoton NPCT750 controller and an SPI interface with a 14-1-pin connector. It supports platform security features used by operating systems and applications, including TPM-aware authentication, disk encryption, and platform integrity verification. It can be used with compatible systems for security configurations involving BitLocker and other TPM-dependent software.
The TPM-SPI is intended for motherboards specifically designed to support this module's electrical interface and pin layout. It is not interchangeable with ASUS TPM-M/LPC modules. Compatibility must be checked against the exact motherboard model and its documentation before purchase.

Product Note
The ASUS TPM-SPI is a motherboard-specific security module, not a universal TPM upgrade. Confirm that the motherboard supports the SPI interface and the exact 14-1-pin module before ordering. ASUS identifies the TPM-SPI product number as 90MC07D0-M0XBN1. TPM-SPI and TPM-M/LPC modules use different interfaces and pin definitions and cannot be substituted for one another. A discrete TPM module alone does not guarantee Windows 11 compatibility; processor support, UEFI configuration, and other system requirements must also be met.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ASUS TPM-SPI?
It is a discrete TPM 2.0 security module that provides hardware-based security functions on compatible motherboards with an SPI TPM connector.
What is the part number for ASUS TPM-SPI?
The ASUS product number is 90MC07D0-M0XBN1.
Which security controller does it use?
The module uses the Nuvoton NPCT750 controller and complies with the TPM 2.0 specification cited in ASUS product documentation.
Is the TPM-SPI compatible with every ASUS motherboard?
No. The motherboard must have a compatible SPI TPM header and explicitly support this module. Check the motherboard's official documentation before purchasing.
Can TPM-SPI replace a TPM-M or LPC module?
No. ASUS states that TPM-SPI and TPM-M/LPC modules have different pin definitions and interfaces, so they are not interchangeable.
Does installing this module automatically enable Windows 11?
No. Windows 11 compatibility also depends on the processor, system firmware, Secure Boot capability, TPM configuration, and other Microsoft requirements.
