Download the AMD Chipset Drivers for Ryzen processors. This driver set offers optimized chipset compatibility with AMD Ryzen processors and AMD Socket AM4 - released Januray, 2020.
Ready for AMD Ryzen processors - AMD Socket AM4 represents the company’s new future-proof platform targeting the fastest DDR4 memory, PCIe 3.0, and NVMe technologies available, as well as the first native USB 3.1 Gen2 support on a chipset. With processor-direct SATA and USB connectivity, configurable for real-world flexibility, the new AM4 platform takes advantage of the leading-edge features of today and tomorrow.
Description:
This is an all-new chipset software installer with updated UI, optimized package size, package versioning unique to the chipset drivers, and improved installer performance.
Supports:
Windows 7/10 for
- 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor
- 7th-Gen AMD A-Series Processors
- AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor
- AMD X470 Chipset
- AMD X370 Chipset
- AMD B450 Chipset
- AMD B350 Chipset
- AMD A320 Chipset
Windows 10 only for
- 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ Processors
- 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor
- 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen Threadripper™ Processor
- AMD Ryzen Threadripper Processor
- AMD Ryzen Desktop Processor with Radeon Vega Graphics
- AMD Ryzen Mobile Processor with Radeon Vega Graphics
- AMD X399 Chipset
- AMD X570 Chipset
- AMD TRX40 Chipset
Package Includes:
- AMD Chipset Drivers
- AMD Ryzen™ Power Plans (required for UEFI CPPC2 in Windows® 10 May 2019 Update)
Windows OS automatically installs a generic driver that allows computers to recognize basic motherboard functions. However, to make use of all board components, appropriate chipset drivers must be applied.
If you install this package, the system will receive related information regarding the chipset. Also, this step might improve compatibility and bus transfer speeds, add various changes for sleep state behavior, power saving functionality and others, or include support for new features. To apply this release, simply make sure your system configuration is supported by this package, get the file, run the available setup, and follow the on-screen instructions. Bear in mind that installing inappropriate chipset drivers can cause computers to malfunction. In addition to that, do perform a system restart after you have completely applied the present release so that all changes take effect. Despite the off-chance that other OSes might be compatible, we do not recommend installing any software on platforms other than the highlighted ones.

@wavetrex
great that you know what i need for cpu performance and what will hinder it.
last time i checked, you have not much knowledge of what i use my machine for.
and no matter what chipset drivers balanced profile i used, never down clocked below 3600
while sitting idle for +1h with almost everything turned off when it comes to software running, even in background,
and using 0/100 works as expected, going down to 2.2 ghz and no issue using win even with max limited to 50%.
as im using a modified balanced (win, not amd) plan (15/100) and have "identical" results for bench,
i know the 99/100 is not needed, and only keeps base clock artificially high to get an ultra responsive win.
so far everyone that switched from amd to win profile saw voltage and of course temps dropping,
while not reporting any lag or similar issues.
im not wasting power and produce more heat, for ZERO noticeable impact on my rig for what i do.

Why AMD Power Management has PCI Express Link State power management Moderate power saving? should it be off or moderate?

@fry178 you understood absolutely nothing about what I posted in relation to the hardware-level (inside CPU) power management.
Do whatever you please with your computer, I'm not holding a gun to your head and say: SET THIS VALUE OR ELSE.
@X7007 Leave it on Moderate.
Off = PCI Express always stays at the current level (PCI-e 3.0 or 4.0 depending on your platform)
On = PCI-Express downgrades to PCI-e 2.0 speeds and power consumption or even 1.0 when usage is low (aka, when not transferring much, for example during windows desktop or very light load). It may also reduce the numbers of active lanes in half ( 16-> 8 or 4-> 2)
The power effect is minimal and it only has any purpose on mobile computers when even 1 single Watt saved can mean 10-15 minutes more battery time.
The performance effect is also non-existent, as you basically only care about faster PCI-e while playing a game (so it switches up to 3.0 or 4.0) when launching the 3D load on the GPU, or when copying large amounts of data to a NVME SSD.
The switch itself is also very fast (sub-milisecond), so no performance is lost.

The minimum power/performance is read at OS boot, setting a lower value will not effect anything (eg: a CPU minimum power performance value is 40, you can set it at 5% or even 0% in the control panel of Windows, but it will not decrease under 40 so any lower values will be ignored). If you want avoid high CPU frequency spikes you can leave the minimum value at 90% like the Ryzen power plane.
I meant in the power plan the minimum performance and maximum performance of the cpu that i usually set minimum 5 and maximum 100

Install chipset drivers (which also installs the power profile Ryzen Balanced), set it as default and never go there again.
"Windows balanced" was designed for Intel chips, a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away.
