    Good enough. Now, kindly go through this post very carefully.

    To reiterate, you don't have an actual TPM hardware installed on your Asus P6X58-E WS motherboard. The module is a specialized diagnostic card, using the 20-1 pin port - which can also be used by a TPM hardware.

    Take the example of a free USB port. You can use it to connect your USB keyboard, or you can plug in a flash drive. In this case, the keyboard and the flash drive belong to two completely different hardware families, yet both can utilize the USB port to communicate with the host PC.

    You didn't answer my second question: Why exactly do you need TPM on this particular PC?

    It's not that I need it but I wanted to know if it says that it's TPM because it didn't work as such if it appears in the bios, instead it has it in the older dell, I wonder if it's not TPM as such because they don't call it otherwise, from what I see it's a card to check the operation of the plate than anything else, I didn't read the article tomorrow I'll do it because it's time to sleep,
    Greetings and good night
