What is a TPM Connector?
Last response: in Motherboards
Hello everyone!
Long time reader, first time poster...
I recently got an MSI 790FX-GD70 and have gotten a respectable system built up. Looking to improve it, I noticed that there is a set of pins in the lower right corner designated TPM Connector.
My searchs revealed that TPM typically means trusted platform module. How would this be used? Is there a chip plugged in or is it a device that connects?
Just curious.

"Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is both the name of a published specification detailing a microcontroller that can store secured information, as well as the general name of implementations of that specification. The TPM provides the ability for a PC desktop or notebook to run applications more securely and to perform electronic transactions and communication more safely."Source
