Using the link you provided, I selected chipset, AM4, X470 from the selection boxes on the download page, and all I get is Ryzen Master, not the Ryzen Chipset drivers. I had to go to this page instead:

https://www.amd.com/en/support/chipsets/amd-socket-am4/x470

"If you have a Ryzen-equipped system, you can download the new chipset driver from AMD's support page. "

I'd just like to point out that even if you don't have a Ryzen-equipped system, you can still download the new chipset driver from AMD's support page.

Whether or not you can use it is another story.

Is there any word on x670? I'm still hoping they can avoid chipset fans this generation.

You don't need to post all of those links. AMD uses the same chipset driver for every AM4 chipset from A320 to X570.

I still can't believe that they needed fans to begin with. In over 30 years of PC building, I had never seen that before nor did I think that they would ever need fans on a motherboard chipset. And here I thought that newer tech with smaller process nodes used less power and created less heat. Oh well.

I like to be redundantly thorough, and sometime I like to be thoroughly redundant.

Not saying you're wrong in what you mentioned. Really, I never know if some specific item is added in some builds just for specific chipsets, so that's why I posted the links. Maybe AMD thinks it makes us feel good when we find our specific version (ok - for me, yes, it does), and maybe they structure the drivers that so they can put out some chipset-specific fixes if needed. So right now they look like like they're all using the same driver set, but later, who knows?

Yep. I remember the days of chipset fans, and it's hard to stomach having one in a modern system. Especially with everything else being so clean and cutting edge. I'm particularly worried about the noise and longevity (or atleast difficulty in replacing it). I was thinking I could mod the chipset and add a heatsink but that honestly sounds like a pain in the butt. And I'd like to actually build a looker this time, so removing the mobo aesthetic plates would hamper that goal. Hopefully previous rumors of a low-power X670 chipset come to fruition, but AMD has said nothing recently.

I've only seen my chipset fan kick on for a few seconds during boot. And it's dead quiet.
