AMD fix for Ryzen chipset issues reportedly causes new more worrying problems

Man, c'mon! I haven't personally felt any problems with these drivers though

"Reports suggest that the GPIO driver (General-Purpose I/O controller) isn’t always updated to the latest version, and that some Ryzen owners are experiencing incorrect operating voltages, and increased processor power consumption – which is definitely a worry. Some issues are also being caused with Ryzen Master, apparently.



AMD is investigating the issue after ComputerBase flagged it up to the company, and it has asked for affected users to send log files which will be anonymously analyzed to help with the efforts of trying to pin down a fix (another one – hopefully with no unfortunate side-effects this time).


Meanwhile, particularly if your Ryzen PC is running fine right now, you may want to hold off updating the chipset driver until we see the results of AMD’s investigation, and whether any remaining gremlins can be ironed out"

Are you trying to compare a bug to security flaws? I mean at least have a coherent thought instead of drooling on the keyboard.

But at least you can mitigate the security issues with software patches, firewall security, and physical access control. You can’t exactly work around non working chipsets, they are not comparable you are quite right on that.

Chipset still works it's just using more power.

Security holes are still worse.

Apples and grenades.

Well how come there are still flaws from earlier chips?

It causes large problems with systems running Raid I’ll tell you that right now. Constant data mis matches and read failures, and the increased voltage draw increases heat generated by a lot which causes increased throttling crippling usage.

Lakados did you revert? X570 chipset drivers?

software raid is right up there with security bugs.

don't be that guy.

Yeah and with 50% less computing power! Not sure that is a win.

I though this was still the case as well.

Have people started using software Raid again? I don't really see the point since on the consumer side SSDs have become just about dirt cheap.

Windows storage spaces are showing problems as well, any HDD’s that are plugged into the SATA ports connected to the chipset we’re throwing random errors, same with the USB ports.

the NVMe drives were fine but they don’t leave the CPU.

They never had their shit together in the first place. AMD is like the cheap and cheerful beta platform.

Bull*. I have 4 builds that are running solidly, two have been upgraded to a 3600 and 3700X, the Vega 56, Vega 64 and 5700 are running well and so on. Even before that, I had no issues with the FX8320, FX8350 and FX8300 I was using before that with 990FX and 970 chipset mainboards. I had an R9 290, R9380, HD 6950's, HD 4890's, 2 x R9 Fury Non X's and no issues with those either. And I am not unique in my experiences, either.

However, the real question is, why upgrade the chipset drivers at all, if everything is already working correctly?

Other people are also not unique who have tons of issues with AMDs ship shit before its finished attitude either and drivers.
 
My only problem with the AMD chipset drivers is that they won't install because they're is no Radeon graphics card present.

WTF AMD?

No more than any other producer of computer parts. Therefore..... :D

only reason to update to these ones would be for the updated power management profile but if you already use 1usmus's profile then there's no reason to. either way i didn't have any issues updating, running latest bios and 1909 windows.

That is so far from truth. I have a 2080ti and drivers install absolutely flawless. If your griping about 2007 you need to realize this is the year 2020.

I built 2 systems on B450 motherboards in the last month. On both systems, when trying to install the CHIPSET driver, the installer came up with a big Radeon logo, then failed to install because there was no Radeon graphics card present.

I've never seen that problem... B350/x370/b450/x470. Try a different driver package. I've mostly been exclusive to amd cpu with Nvidia gpu systems and never had a hiccup other than ram speeds.

I have they have 2 drivers both labelled chipset drivers on their site. It is easy to get the combo one that does the GPU and Chipset it only works on systems that have the APU’s or a Radeon GPU.

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to keep updated on that news.

On another note - lets keep discussions civil guys. A few pokes a jokes are cool, but keep it down with the bashing on both sides.

so, user error as stated above.
 
Still using chipset ver 2.01.15.2138, no issues to speak of....

Really once the BIOS stuff was smoothed over, it's been a mighty sweet machine.

Agreed my Ryzen 9 aside from some minor quirks is awesome and my Threadripper is mostly doing great but it is the one the chipset update borked. Not able to tell which issues are server 2019 and which are AMD, a smidge frustrating.

I threw my old 300GB Raptors in my X470 rig just because I could and run them in RAID 0 as I always have for the last decade, despite having a 1 + 2 TB NVME drive in there as well. For some reason my internal RAID controller wouldn't either detect the drives or configure them for RAID, so i just set them up in software within Windows and it seems to peform just fine for the random stuff I keep on them. I haven't had any stability or crashing issues either so far.
