[SOLVED] Drivers

Ryzen 5 3400G
MSI B450 Mortar MAX
2x8 (16gb) Corsair vengeance LPX
500gb ssd
corsair cx 500 psu

Built my son a simple system, would it be best to download the drivers from AMD or MSI?

Congrats on the new build! 😉

I'd ask you to download the drivers from AMD's site for the chipset and GPU, while the rest of the drivers can be sourced from MSI's support site(like LAN). You might want to make sure your motherboard is on the latest BIOS update as well.

Mind sharing if the PSU is teh green labelled unit? If so, you should change that unit out for the grey labelled CX unit.

Thanks. Unfortunately it is the green model,I know they're crap but it's all I have at the moment, i ran my system with it for a while with no issues but will be swapping it out when funds allow. Thanks again

Well the concern I have for that system is that a bad PSU can and will take out the entire build, some have lost their homes to a fire started by a bad PSU as well.

I hope the swap is sooner than later and in time before it conks out something else apart from itself.
