If the windows tool tells you you’re not compatible you probably just have to turn it on in bios. That was my experience at least.

A TPM chip is a physical piece of hardware.

If your computer doesn't have it, no amount of changing things in the BIOS will fix that.

All newer CPUs have integrated TPM modules, those are just baked into the CPU itself. Intel markets it as Intel PTT, AMD markets it as fTPM

Not anymore. It's integrated right into the CPU nowadays; and especially since we're talking about "gaming" motherboards, we're also talking about "gaming" CPUs (i.e., not bargain basement stuff), and every gaming CPU sold in at least the past 5-8 years has it.

And if that's too vague for you, then there's a simpler statement: every CPU officially supported by Windows 11 has the requisite TPM built in. (Most BIOSes shipped until very very recently disabled it by default though, so if a hardware compatibility tool tells you that you don't have a TPM despite having a supported CPU, you just need to boot into the BIOS and enable it.)
