Does TUF Gaming B760M-PLUS WIFI II support discrete TPM?

[AltitudeDash]

It is not mentioned in the manual, but it seems to have a socker near the SATA connectors. That socket is not mentioned in the manual. It has 10 PINs while the Asus TPM module has 14 PINs. So, does TUF Gaming B760M-PLUS WIFI II support discrete TPM?

Just to clarify my question. This is the socker I am talking about:

But it lacks 4 PINS on the right. Why? So is there any way to use a discrete TPM chip on this motherboard? The CPU built-in works fine but I want to try a discrete one.

Thanks!

Hello @AltitudeDash 

Thank you for reaching out to us. We apologize for the delayed response due to a public holiday in our region and any inconvenience this may have caused.
According to the Tech Specs for the TUF GAMING B760M-PLUS WIFI II, this motherboard does not support a discrete TPM module.
May I ask what specific issue you are encountering that requires verification of this specification?

Thank you.

The built in firmware TPM is raising errors visible in the Event Viewer in Windows 11 Pro 24H2 so I would have liked to use a discrete TPM module.
Also, what does that connector is for? Why does it exist? It seems to be a TPM connector only missing 4 PINs.
