So I currently have an 5600x on the way along with a B550I AORUS PRO AX

I am acquiring my drivers in advanced and noticed there is one labeled

Quote

AMD Chipset Driver (Note) Win10 ver.2004 supported. (Note) For AMD Vermeer CPU support.

 

Now to my understanding this is a Vermeer chip... how am I to install this driver, when I need to get into windows to install drivers when I need to use this chip to get into windows?

 

 

On an semi related not there is another chipset driver labeled.

Quote

AMD APU Driver (Note) Win10 ver.2004 supported.

Do I want both of these?

 

 

Follow up question. The Lan Drivers, I got

Quote

Realtek LAN Driver
(Note) Win10 20H2 supported.

and

Quote

Realtek LAN Driver
(Note) Win10 ver.2004 supported.

I would assume I want the 20h2 one? I am not sure  (for what its worth I am going to be running a "Please activate your copy of windows" edition of windows for a bit if that matters at all.)

Don't worry about it, you're overthink it.

Just get the latest driver for everything.

So even with the 5000 series chip in imma still be able to get to windows to install said driver? 

I only ask cause I know Ryzen had some weirdness with updating at the very least bios to get a chip to function at all.

CPU does not need drivers. CPU need the motherboard tonsupport it so if the board already ships with the BIOS version that supports your CPU, it's fine. 

 

After installing Windows you will install chipset drivers for your motherboard, not the CPU.

Yeah, thats why I was looking at it like what the hell sine when do I need drivers for a cpu. But whatever makes the chip happy I guess.
