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.

Hope it works for you.
I'm not sure if I will be able to upgrade either. I've been looking at my Rampage vi extreme encore manual and I can't find if it has a TPM or a header for TPM. I don't think it has either from what I can tell.
This TPM thing is going to cause a lot of confusion. I hope someone does a video about it soon.

Well after doing some reading, most intel CPUs made around 2013 and later have what is called PTT. Haswell and later should have PTT so you may be ok even without the module. PTT is basically software TPM and it can be enabled in your bios. Look under "PCH-FW configuration". Hope this works, but since Windows 11 isn't out yet, who knows.

So it actually worked! The Rampage V Extreme apparently does support TPM 2.0. Now the trouble is apparently Windows 11 is going to not just enforce TPM 2.0, but also minimum CPU Generation. So it might have been for nothing lol. Anyway, screenshots below.
Also I know about PTT, but apparently only certain lines of Haswell CPUs supported it like mobile ones. Mine definitely does not, I looked carefully.

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.

embedded in R6EE, just have to turn it on in BIOS PTT-FW under advanced tab.
After enabling win+R tpm.msc amd you should see this

Here's what it looks like installed, it's labelled TPM on the side furthest from the CPU. It's in the user manual
There's absolutely zero performance difference, that's not the purpose of it
