GIGABYTE GC-TPM 2.0 SPI V2 Host Interface SPI Windows 10 11 7 8.1

The GIGABYTE GC-TPM 2.0 SPI V2 is a discrete Trusted Platform Module (TPM) designed to add hardware-level security to compatible motherboards. It uses the Infineon SLB9672 2048-bit cryptographic processor and supports TPM 2.0 and Common Criteria (EAL4+), enabling secure storage of encryption keys for solutions such as Windows BitLocker and for identity verification in online services.

Advantages

The TPM module provides an additional layer of protection beyond software-only measures by storing cryptographic keys in a dedicated hardware chip, helping to protect data from unauthorized access and physical theft. The Infineon SLB9672 processor delivers industry-standard 2048-bit encryption and compliance with TPM 2.0 and Common Criteria (EAL4+). The GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 connects via an SPI host interface and is compatible with multiple Windows versions including Windows 10, 11, 7 and 8.1.

Suitable for

• Business users handling sensitive personal or financial data (e.g., accountants, insurance agents)
• Systems requiring full-disk encryption with Windows BitLocker
• Users who need hardware-backed identity verification for online banking and secure services
• Motherboards that include a TPM header on supported Intel or AMD platforms

How to use

Install the GC-TPM2.0 SPI V2 by inserting the module into the TPM header on a compatible GIGABYTE motherboard, ensuring the board is powered off and the connector orientation matches the header. After physical installation, enable TPM in the motherboard BIOS/UEFI if required. Within Windows, use platform tools such as Windows Security or BitLocker setup to initialize the TPM, create and store encryption keys, and enable full-disk encryption or other TPM-backed features.

Usage recommendations

Ensure your motherboard includes a compatible TPM header before purchase and confirm BIOS/UEFI support for TPM 2.0. Keep firmware and OS security updates current and back up recovery keys when enabling BitLocker or other encryption tied to TPM to prevent data loss.
