Built a PC on an AMD Ryzen motherboard? AMD Chipset Drivers install the low-level software that lets Windows talk to the board’s components. The package can include device drivers for functions such as GPIO, SMBus, PCI, and AMD PSP; the components depend on the platform.
Install the chipset components
Chipset drivers provide Windows with the information needed to communicate with motherboard devices and platform controllers. AMD’s package may install drivers for GPIO, SMBus, PCI, and PSP functions, depending on the chipset and hardware present.
- GPIO drivers support general-purpose input/output functions.
- SMBus drivers support communication over the System Management Bus.
- PSP and PCI drivers support other AMD platform devices.
Find updates for an AMD chipset
AMD’s Auto-Detect and Install tool can identify driver updates for Ryzen chipsets on a compatible Windows system. It is one route for locating updates when the exact motherboard chipset is not known. The chipset package itself is intended for systems with supported AMD platform hardware.
Separate chipset support from graphics updates
Chipset drivers address motherboard and platform devices, while Radeon graphics drivers handle AMD graphics hardware. AMD provides graphics driver updates separately.
Pros
- Covers motherboard functions including GPIO and SMBus
- Includes AMD PSP and PCI device drivers on supported platforms
- AMD's detection tool can identify chipset updates
System requirements: Windows 10, Windows 11 · 64-bit only · Windows 10 version 1809 or later for AMD's Auto-Detect tool
