Rampage V Extreme - Not TPM 2.0 Compatible? (Windows 11)

[Angstromboli]

So apparently Windows 11 will require a TPM 2.0 module. Is it true X99 and therefore the Rampage V extreme doesn't support this at all?

Supermicro makes a 20-pin TPM 2.0 module: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/accessories/addon/AOM-TPM-9665V.php

But from my searching it looks like the R5E only supports TPM/FW3.19 which is 1.2, not TPM-L R2.0 which is TPM 2.0?

On the other hand I've seen reviews on Amazon for TPM 2.0 chips where people specifically mention using them on X99 motherboards, so maybe it's down to the motherboard itself. From my understanding, TPM 2.0 is not backwards compatible with TPM 1.2.

EDIT: I decided to just take one for the team and buy one just to see. Specifically I got the "SuperMicro AOM-TPM-9665V-C" (V for vertical orientation and C for client, as opposed to server). It probably won't work but whatever. I'll post an update when it arrives. Should be here within a few days, I got the faster shipping.

EDIT2: So the TPM 2.0 module actually worked (model number above). Screenshots in this post below of BIOS and TPM.msc menu: https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?124610-Rampage-V-Extreme-Not-TPM-2-0-Compatible-(Windows-1...

I'm running the original Rampage V Extreme. You literally just plug it into the slot and it showed up in the bios as shown, and Windows accepted it, zero configuration required, didn't even have to enable it.

EDIT3: To be clear, even though the TPM 2.0 module works with the motherboard, the PC Health Check app still says my computer is NOT compatible with Windows 11 because the processor isn't supported. It's a 5960x.

I tried installing Windows 11 on my 2009 build with the Rampage II Extreme and a 6c/12t Xeon X5690 CPU. So far the install process fails with a "Windows could not set the offline locale information. Error code: 0x80000001" during the "Installing Features" stage. When I get it working, Windows 11 performance should not be an issue. Under Windows 10, Battlefield V runs fast and smooth on that PC and should perform just as well under Windows 11 so long as MS does not put impediments in the way. I'll just use TPM/CPU check workarounds until mobos start appearing with PCIe 4 and DDR 5 slots.

i have a MB evga x58 11year old and i bypass tpm with appraiser.dll but i don't have this error sorry
my pc with a MB Asus rampage v exttreme i bypass tpm with regedit
and the hp laptop touchsmart tm2 i5 ram 8gb bypass it with appaiser.dll 10 year old
hp pavilion dm4 i5 m430 ram 4gb bypass with the dll file

Ahh, look what I just found. I'm not sure if I should trust it, though, but maybe it's what you did? Please explain.

Oh, I got it running. I turned off the PC upon getting that error to prevent the install process doing a rewind, did a bootrec /fixmbr, then reinstalled the windows boot environment files with a "bcdboot c:\windows /l en-nz /s c: /f all", then rebooted from the windows install drive. That worked, surprisingly.

So as we all suspected, once installed, Windows 11 works fine on very old hardware... Microsoft.

It's been awhile since I've done any sort of "tinkering" of that nature. You lost me right after you said you turn off your PC upon getting the error.

Basically what I'm asking is, how do you get to that point to where you're entering the bootrec /fixmbr ? Then, what about the other command you entered (bcdedit...etc.)?

Are you basically doing a full wipe of the PC and redoing the partitions? In my head, I'm thinking the moment you turn off of the PC and turn it back on, it'll just boot to Windows, unless a version of Windows isn't already there. Or, are you just anyways booted into a command prompt once you restart from shutting off your PC at the point you did?

I edited my response because there is a far nicer way of installing Windows 11 on my Rampage II Extreme system. Previous methods required replacement of files which caused a problem, and ended up corrupting the component store when working around it.

1) Delete all the files contained on the USB Windows 10 installer created with the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, and copy everything from the leaked Windows 11 ISO to the USB Stick.

2 ) Copy & paste the following into notepad.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\LabConfig]
"BypassTPMCheck"=dword:00000001
"BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001

Save the file as bypass.reg to the USB stick.

3) Boot from the USB stick to begin the Windows 11 install process. When you get the the Product Key page, Press Shift-F10 to invoke the Command Prompt. Run regedit. Click 'File' then 'Import' . Navigate to and open the saved .reg file. Close regedit and the Command Prompt. Carry on.

I think the correct value to bypass the secure boot is:
"BypassSecureBootCheck"=dword:00000001

Ooooh, I *hate* that...

I made a dumb copy & paste mistake. Corrected.

I have the same motherbaord and processor. I'm just starting to look into the Windows 11 requirements . You have saved me a lot of legwork. Many thanks.

It's incredible that a 5960x that is still a great processor isn't supported. Also because I installed Win 11 on this Processor and R5E with the know trick and it's work like a charm...
