Gigabyte TPM-modulekaart CTM000 1.0D 9CTM000NR-00-10D

For IT administrators securing corporate desktops or enthusiasts enabling full-disk encryption on a custom build, the Gigabyte TPM 2.0 Module CTM000 adds a hardware root of trust to compatible Gigabyte motherboards. This small PCB plugs directly into the 12-1 pin TPM header, delivering TCG-compliant cryptographic functions without consuming a PCIe slot.

Key specifications

• TPM version: 2.0
• Chipset: Infineon SLB9665
• Interface: LPC (Low Pin Count)
• Connector: 12-1 pin header
• Security standard: TCG compliant
• Cryptographic functions: RSA 2048-bit
• Hashing algorithms: SHA-1, SHA-256
• Supported features: Secure Boot, Measured Boot, BitLocker, Windows Hello, Virtual Smart Card
• Compatibility: Gigabyte motherboards with 12-1 pin TPM header
• OS support: Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11
• Operating temperature: 0°C to 70°C
• Storage temperature: -20°C to 80°C
• Certifications: CE, FCC, RoHS

Why choose it

Unlike firmware-based TPM (fTPM), this discrete module stores keys in dedicated hardware, reducing exposure to software attacks. It meets Windows 11 system requirements and enables enterprise-grade security features such as BitLocker drive encryption and credential protection. The low power draw (under 1 W) adds negligible thermal load, and the compact form factor fits easily in most cases.

Ideal use cases

• Corporate workstations requiring hardware-based encryption for compliance
• Custom PC builds needing Windows 11 compatibility
• Systems where fTPM is unavailable or disabled
• Environments requiring physical TPM presence for remote attestation

Good to know

Installation is tool-free: align the module with the 12-1 pin header (pin 1 marked) and press firmly. After boot, enable TPM in BIOS/UEFI and initialize it in the OS. The module is backed by Gigabyte's compatibility testing, ensuring reliable operation across supported boards. For systems without a TPM header, this module is not suitable.
