Yup.
"In today's release we have improved the installation experience"
Strange this is an older version of what Asrock have. I tried to install this but it said I already have a newer version.

The drivers are identical, its just the version numbers that are different, AMD v2.04.28.626 - Asrock v2.05.04.352.
You already have these drivers on

I'm not sure if its me but my system seems a touch more responsive since I installed the new drivers. Possibly imagining it mind.
You know, I was going to say the same. specifically my vega 56 seems to be behaving so much better in games like Bf5, I was getting lost frames etc, now I am locked at 75 frames all the time which is perfect. maybe the installer correctly installed all the drivers this time.
New Chipset drivers released today:
AMD Ryzen Chipset Driver 2.07.14.327
AMD Ryzen Chipset Driver 2.07.14.327

Damn, I only did a fresh install of windows and chipset drivers a few days ago. Any release notes?

Good to know nothing there that would make any difference to me, won't bother updating.

Used to be that way maybe 10 years ago. Now I don't care unless I know there is something that will either fix or improve something. Same with BIOS's. My BIOS is from last year. All the new one's would not make any difference to me from what I can see so why bother? There is a saying, don't try to fix it if it aint broke

We live in a post spectre meltdown world now, one where even the bios needs security updates.
The latest ones patch the SMM call out vulnerability.

or if it ain't broke, hose it!

You are right, did not notice that. Latest one from 2 weeks ago says "Fix AMD security vulnerabilities for SMM Callout Privilege Escalation". Will update and hope it does not bork my stability. Thanks for the heads up.

Yes. Very much gone are the days of not updating your bios. It's like saying I don't want to update windows. Good luck.

Failed to install for me with a 3900X on X370.
The file path is wrong in the installer, its looking for:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\AMD\Chipset_Driver_Installer\AMD_Chipset_Drivers\{2457B349-20D8-423A-B291-CD885B9108A1}\IODriver\PCI\PCI Driver\W7x64\dpinst64.exe.
but it only has:
C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\AMD\Chipset_Driver_Installer\AMD_Chipset_Drivers\{2457B349-20D8-423A-B291-CD885B9108A1}\IODriver\PCI\PCI Driver\WTx64\dpinst64.exe.
Someone entered a T instead of a 7

Not good. The 3rd last set of drivers borked on my system. I wasn't able to uninstall them correctly.
When I did manage to install the new set they weren't showing up in add/remove and no power options.
I ended up doing a windows reinstall and then they installed cleanly.
Either you are suffering from a similar issue to me or they have scoobied up the installer again.
AMD.... come on it's the basics you need to get right to be taken seriously.
