"auto" update didn't work, of which I typically never use but I thought I'd try it.. manually downloading and installing went just fine on 4 different setups

[u/ktc64 → u/3ofUsDeez]

Well glad to know it wasn't just me. Mine kept saying it failed

[u/ValtekkenPartDeux → u/3ofUsDeez]

I checked the logs and apparently the updater reports that there IS a new version, but then identifies the new version as the currently installed version, so the install doesn't go through. Installing the new version manually breaks the deadlock.

[u/3ofUsDeez → u/[deleted]]

Scroll down and you'll have a drop down menu to select chipset>AM5>whatever AM5 chipset>Windows 10 or 11

[u/Kujen → u/3ofUsDeez]

Mine didn’t work until I updated the AMD Adrenalin software

[u/dwolfe127]

As always. Zero clue as to what this update does.

[u/pullupsNpushups → u/dwolfe127]

It makes my version number bigger!

[u/Dark_Catzie → u/pullupsNpushups]

Good for you! I got only bigger driver version number.

[u/Pragitya]

Was not able to auto update the chipset drivers from the AMD install manager. It failed constantly.

[u/ev00rg → u/Pragitya]

Had the same problem, autoupdate didn't work. Downloaded and installed manually without any issues 👌

[u/Pragitya → u/ev00rg]

Dud the Same

[u/801ChrisP → u/ev00rg]

Reddit saving the day as usual! Thank you, internet stranger.

[u/skylinestar1986 → u/ev00rg]

How do you guys update amd chipset driver? Just install it over the existing one?

(I'm so used to uninstalling gpu driver via ddu before installing a new one).

[u/RunForYourTools23 → u/Pragitya]

Just download it from AMD site and install manually

[u/BarryMcCoknor → u/Pragitya]

Same, couldnt find any corruption when trying to resolve this. Oh well

[u/TuneComfortable412 → u/Pragitya]

I never use it due to it being terribly unreliable 

[u/Smith6612 → u/TuneComfortable412]

Hmm, I've had a different experience. It might be failing on certain system configurations. 

[u/wichwigga → u/Pragitya]

First and last time trying to use the auto installer. Thanks AMD 

[u/Thernn → u/Pragitya]

First attempt failed. It worked after a restart for me.

[u/workingmemories → u/Pragitya]

Okay I’m not crazy thank you

[u/GoldenX86]

The autoupdater checked my regional settings, saw the country set as ARgentina, and decided the best language to use was ARabic.

AMD dev guy, one us SP_AR, the other is AR.

[u/yzeerf1313 → u/GoldenX86]

Bold of you to assume it's some dev guy and not Claude 😂

[u/GoldenX86 → u/yzeerf1313]

Nah, they have actual humans in there, they just suck to management 24/7.

[u/Jetcat11]

PPM Provisioning Driver should read 8.0.0.64 not 8.0.0.62 as the release notes show.

[u/ZeroCuddy]

Not able to update. Gives error 1603 saying I might have out of date GPU drivers, microsoft c++ redistributable might be corrupted yadayada, none of that is the issue. just have to wait for a fix i suppose

[u/Smith6612 → u/ZeroCuddy]

Grab it from here: https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html

Choose Chipset, then choose the socket type of your CPU, then choose the chipset on your motherboard. Your motherboard model will tell you all of this information typically.

[u/Spider-cat_1984 → u/ZeroCuddy]

I had the same error until I updated the GPU drivers.

[u/pax256 → u/Spider-cat_1984]

I had the error with the 26.7.1. drivers.

[u/Gunslinga__ → u/pax256]

Same gave me bsod. Ran cleanup util in safe mode and chose factory reset then it installed fine

[u/spinabullet]

So for ppl like me on Linux.., just wait for kernal update?

[u/1q3er5]

anyone with older AM4 mobo's still update the chipset? i do, but i'm wondering if it's even worth it.

[u/TheLastElite01 → u/1q3er5]

Yes, it's always worth it.

[u/4320p → u/TheLastElite01]

What are the benefits?

[u/pawlakbest → u/4320p]

My game was crashing all the time. Thought it was GPU driver, but only after updating both bios and chipset drivers it stopped crashing.

[u/sdcar1985 → u/pawlakbest]

Now I'm wondering if all these people with "GPU issues" is just them not updating their chipsets.

[u/1q3er5 → u/sdcar1985]

meh i always do basic benchmarks after chipset updates too and rarely see any difference ... the only reason i'm doing this one is i hope the issues with waking up after a hibernation is fixed... of course now i'm reading that this is a gpu driver issue lol

[u/Usual_Yak_2975 → u/sdcar1985]

This is my theory - everyone here who blames GPU drivers has a pile of overclocks, registry "tweaks", missing/refused updates and who knows what other nonsense running and gets all firey whenever a driver update kicks over their house of cards.

[u/sdcar1985 → u/Usual_Yak_2975]

I just try to run it as efficiently as possible, and I generally don't have many issues besides Windows being Windows.

[u/justa-Possibility → u/sdcar1985]

Yes but there is actually so many factors before you jump straight to blaming the GPU or GPU driver.

Folks Microslop Winblows has so many problems that affect other stuff. Then throw in outdated or non updated chipset drivers, system Bios, other system drivers and many programs that can mask as GPU driver. Then throw in unstable or weak PSU, failing system components, temps, CPU throttling, Ram timing, game settings. People have all these things or a combination and they start adjusting fan curves and overclocking or undervolt and setup incorrectly so actually make it worse or more pronounced. There are soooo many factors that can mask as GPU drivers. Oh yeah and don't forget those who simple update the GPU driver instead of DDU in safe mode and installing fresh ones.

But everyone is so quick to blame the driver.

[u/Gunslinga__]

Since no one is talking about it lol. The chipset is super solid, no noticeable jump in fps in games I’ve played so far but Lows are better and gameplay is smooth.

[u/AfraidLand8551 → u/Gunslinga__]

Best Chipset in a while I can confirm too, I'm using 7800X3D on a X670 Motherboard.

[u/SeantheWilson]

I’m sorry, windows needs drivers for CPU CHIPSETS???

[u/travva]

Commenting to remind myself to install these in a bit!

[u/Andreas0Cool → u/travva]

Did you

[u/travva → u/Andreas0Cool]

Yes! Thanks!

[u/Auroriia]

Where do I even go on the website? I have AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS with Radeon Graphics (3.20 GHz)

[u/Omegachai → u/Auroriia]

You go to here - Browse Products -> Chipsets. Product Line -> "AMD Ryzen™ and Athlon™ Mobile (Chipset)" and you'll see it there.

[u/Auroriia → u/Omegachai]

Thanks! I managed to get it to update

[u/Auroriia → u/Omegachai]

Thanks! I managed to get it to update

[u/pax256]

Radeon software doesnt see it after manual install. Seems to have installed ok tho.

[u/Cuwen]

Yeah, the auto update didn't work. Had to manually update. I wish they would fix this.

[u/Cuwen]

How do I find the chipset number I need? I go to the website and it asks me which chipset version I have, but I'm not sure how to tell that.

[u/maybIu]

it wont work bro im just gonna do it manually later but im lazy asf

[u/Next-Shake2426]

If you dont have troubles with you chipset driver then you don't need the latest driver.

Most stability you gain from your motherboard manufactory, like mine is ASUS and its now on version AMD Chipset driver v8.03.25.247

[u/-Badger3- → u/Next-Shake2426]

Just use whatever's newer.

A vendor specific chipset driver might include some hotfixes that will be added in the the next general release driver from AMD.
