thisdude Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 In my Device Manager it shows a TPM chip but in my BIOS I don't see any settings for TPM. I have an ASUS K501U. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1327482-do-i-have-a-tpm-chip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisdude Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Why is Prepared the TPM greyed out? Does that mean I don't have a TPM chip? If so why are the other commands available?

Hum Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Maybe TPM is auto configured. Find your motherboard manual and read thru. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1327482-do-i-have-a-tpm-chip/#findComment-597854546 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wizard will configure the TPM chip. Hum 1 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1327482-do-i-have-a-tpm-chip/#findComment-597854558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisdude Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Thanks for the replys guys. I was able to find online chat support with ASUS. I gave them my laptop's serial number and they were able to tell me that it does not come with a TPM chip. But I told them how the TPM 2.0 comes up in Device Manager. So they guy put in a ticket to get an answer and they'd email me with why it's showing up in Device Manager and TPM.MSC but not in the bios and according to the serial number it doesn't have one. When they get back to me I'll be sure to post what they find out. Maybe it'll be of some help to someone else experiencing the same issue as me? Thanks again!

+LogicalApex MVC Posted April 8, 2017 MVC Share Posted April 8, 2017 Which CPU do you have? Most new Intel CPUs have a TPM built in that you can turn on. I'm sure this is what you're seeing due to it being a TPM 2.0 (very few of those are on sale standalone). If so, you have an actual TPM that you can leverage and use... If you enable "Intel Trusted Computing" you'll enable the CPU's built in TPM if it has one. You can cross check ARK by seeing if your chip supports Intel Trusted Computing.

Expand Here's what it has I copied it off the Amazon page, 6th-generation Intel Core i7-6500U 2.5GHz (Turbo up to 3.1GHz). Skylake . What you say makes sense. But then why wouldn't it show up in the BIOS? Thanks for the reply!
