TPM-DB06 – ASUS TPM 2.0 Module – 14-1 Pin SPI_TPM Vertical
Discrete TPM 2.0 add-in card for ASUS motherboards that use the 14-1 pin SPI_TPM header. Board silk shows TPM-DB06 REV:1.0 and the chip is Nuvoton NPCT650 series (TPM 2.0).
Description
This ASUS module plugs directly into the SPI_TPM (14-1) header to provide a hardware root-of-trust for BitLocker, Secure Boot, measured boot, and platform attestation. It is the DB06 variant (vertical orientation), shown exactly in the photos.

✅ Confirmed Compatibility
Please note that the following list is not exhaustive. Compatibility depends on your system’s specific configuration. It’s essential to verify compatibility with your system or enclosure manufacturer prior to installation.
✔️ ASUS motherboards that specify a 14-1 pin SPI_TPM header and list support for a TPM 2.0 discrete module
✔️ Desktop/workstation boards requiring a discrete SPI TPM 2.0 card for BitLocker/Device Encryption and Secure Boot features
☑️ Key Features
- ☑️ True hardware root-of-trust using Nuvoton TPM 2.0 controller
- ☑️ Direct 14-1 SPI_TPM plug-in—no cable required
- ☑️ Compact, vertical module for tight clearances
- ☑️ Supports modern security workflows: BitLocker, measured boot, attestation
⚙️ Fit Notes
- Header type matters: This is SPI_TPM (14-1 pin). It is not the ASUS TPM-M R2.0 (14-1 LPC) nor any 20-pin LPC module.
- Align the keyed Pin-1 correctly; never force insertion.
- In BIOS/UEFI, enable Discrete/External TPM. If your board also offers firmware TPM (PTT/fTPM), only one TPM path should be active.
- If reusing in another system, clear/initialize the TPM in firmware before enabling BitLocker or similar features.
