AMD Ryzen Chipset drivers???

[althsus]

I have the Ryzen 2700X and while I was updating all my drivers. I was trying to update my AMD chipset drivers for my Ryzen. However, I found online sources saying that the AMD chipset drivers from their motherboard driver download page doesn't get installed or only partially installs but the AMD chipset drivers from the official AMD website does install. While to be safe for now I did try install the downloaded AMD chipset drivers from AMD website but I don't think they did install as I can't find my chipset under "Device Managers" "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" as it only has "Standard SATA AHCI Controller" instead of displaying "AMD Controller".

Also the chipset drivers from my motherboard website (ASUS STRIX X470-F) seems to have newer drivers than the one downloadable from AMD official website which is odd? ASUS Strix latest chipset drivers are version 18.50.06 released 2019/1/23, whereas, the chipset driver I can download from AMD is 18.10.1810 released 2018/10/26. Would it be fine to install the AMD chipset drivers from the ASUS website or do I try again using the drivers from AMD?

Also do I have to uninstall the old chipset driver before I install the new one or can I just install directly over it like other normal drivers?

I have the Chipset drivers from AMD's site ( 18.10.1810 ) and, under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers it shows Standard SATA AHCI Controller.

The one on my Mobo's site is 18.10.30 but, I haven't tried installing that yet.

 

I'd say you are fine with the one from AMD's site.

Cyberspirit is right, you should be fine with the driver from AMD's website as having different drivers in this case shouldn't impact performance, stability, security or features.
