Question Chipset

[kurdtnz]

I am doing a new build tomorrow using the asus rog strix b650e-f gaming wifi motherboard. Am I right in thinking the chipset is in fact a B650 and not a B650E and that when I download the chipset from amd, I should download the one for the B650?

You may want to use the one from ASUS that was made available a couple of weeks ago:

Ive always downloaded straight from amd but noticed on the motherboards support page it says, '' Due to the different structure for drivers, suggest you remove the old driver first before install this version driver.'' but not the one on amd?

AMD usually uses a common driver for chipset families. I suspect they will be the same for AM5 systems.
