I wouldn't. It's easy to uninstall them. Control panel / uninstall. Then reboot and install the AMD chipset drivers form the webpage.
It will add the Ryzen power plan for you as well which you should use. Can be found in the control panel under power options.

I used that AMD ones when I reinstalled windows. Asus EZ update tells me that I need to download new chipset drivers but when I install and reboot they don't install. It looks like AMD are newer and won't allow older ones to install. This doesn't help when the Asus file name for these don't correspond to anything!
Been using AMD ones on Win 7/10. When the "new" ones came out the only thing I noted was addition of "Ryzen Power Plan" in package, version numbers of drivers were the same. Will have to see if a new version is out.
Any AMD GPU owners be aware that if you don't use "change" option on AMD Software in control panel the chipset drivers also get uninstalled. DDU also goes to "clear all" as well from last time I used it.

Thank you very much for this info. I have asked about this in the driver thread but nobody bothered to answer it.

Don't use Asus EZ update.
I forgot it was even on there. I installed it because I couldn't access the asus driver page for some reason. I agree with you though, no need for it otherwise.
That's the usual method, new drivers are designed to replace old ones when installed.
Rather than make another thread I thought I'd ask my question here.
I've just finished my ryzen build and installed W10 etc. I've installed the chipset drivers from the AMD site and in Device Manager they just show as "Standard SATA AHCI Controller". Is this correct? Been so used to seeing Intel mentioned there!!

Is this under the storage controllers?
Yes. I remember it was best to pick the Intel ones for Intel boards instead of using the MS ones and wondered if AMD was the same? Not had an AMD board for over 10 years

Mine says microsoft storage spaces controller...... And I'm on the latest ryzen chipset drivers hmmm
That's the virtualized controller Windows uses for drive pools (if you set them up). Try looking under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" instead of "Storage controllers".
