Should I Download B850 Chipset Drivers from AMD or My Motherboard Manufacturer?

Windows Update and AMD’s chipset installer are normally enough for the chipset itself. Don’t forget to check the motherboard manufacturer’s page for BIOS updates and any components that are specific to the board.

You can compare both download pages and use whichever package is newer. The manufacturer’s support page is still useful for board-specific software and drivers, especially Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth, while chipset drivers usually come directly from AMD.

For chipset drivers, AMD’s support page is generally the best source because the motherboard manufacturer usually gets those packages from AMD anyway. AMD’s installer can also detect the platform and install the appropriate drivers.
