    The TPM is either built into your CPU or plugs into a dedicated header on the motherboard.

      It’s built into my CPU but for some reason MS doesn’t trust the Intel Core i7 chips.

      Strange, I thought it was a standard header. Why I bought 10 instead of 11 when building my computer.

        It’s either the LPC header or it’s soldered onto the board directly. LPC header doesn’t have any other *official uses so it’s not sacrificing functionality. Though I can understand why somebody wouldn’t want to have a TPM module on their board. It’s pretty easy to bypass that requirement in Windows (over and over) though.
