Intel Core i7 7700k
ASUS ROG Strix Z270i Gaming
MSi GTX 1080 Ti FE
Corsair Vegeance LED 32GB DDR4 3000

Disappointed that the CPU is not supported. It's only a few years old. I don't have TPM yet but will purchase a TPM module if the CPU is listed as supported.

- Corei77700korBustNov 11, 2021Iron ContributorThe ASUS ROG Strix Z270-i Gaming has the intel implementation of TPM. No Module needed. Also there is a firmware update that make the BIOS changes required so the MS Checker Tool only reports that the processor is not supported with everything else just fine. I've been fine with most of Microsoft's decisions over the many years with only a few disappointments including Courier, NEO etc. This blatant disregard for customers wallets in these pandemic times demonstrates pure greed amongst other unfavorable attributes. It goes against the perception that Microsoft has been very diligent in cultivating in post monopoly times. Maybe its time for the Federal Government to take a new look. While I hate that idea, Microsoft seems to be asking for it and maybe then they will return to delivering for their customers and investors instead of simply for their investors.
- ExorSGNov 12, 2021Copper ContributorYou are right. I recently updated BIOS on the system board, it is now showing TPM 2.0 is enabled. Only CPU that is failing. I will not buy new parts until mine died. If Microsoft refuses to allow 7700k support. I am going to wait until Windows 12 or whatever OS they got that supports my current CPU.

Same here, I am not going to upgrade to Windwos 11 until my hardware dies, or microsoft starts supporting the CPU. I built my PC ~3 years ago with i7-7700k, motherboard, powersupply, 32kb ram, 2x Nvidia 1070 gpus. I don't have any issues for playing games, using Blender or doing heavy programming, etc.
