Should i update my chip-set drivers? I checked gigabytes website and it has one from like 3 months ago or should i go to the AMD website and do that or are they separate and i should do both?

PC runs fine but gets pretty warm sometimes when high end gaming.

The reason for the question
So I have a strange problem. I have a GA-AB350 Gaming i recently did a restore on my pc and i had gigabyte app-center on it with an app called System Information Viewer (SIV) which had smart-fan 5 on it. I reinstalled it all and it bricks my PC no joke crashes the whole thing when i open SIV. So the only thing i can think of that would do it is bad chip-set drivers.

and on ryzens website its just got the ryzen master which is for overclocking. Which im not going to do till i get SIV and smartfan5 again because the stupid intake and exaust fans wont go above 500 rpm and my AIO pump only comes on when it needs to.

Thats my info from ryzen master.

So. Should i install the chipset drivers from the gigabyte drivers page for my motherboard?

Solution
Usually these apps aren´t needed to run a system and are considered to be bloatware. Uninstall all apps from ryzen, gigabyte and similar. Only install the drivers from AMD.com for the B350 chipset.

Directly set the smart fan 5 settings in BIOS.


Its in the pump slot on the mobo it worked all fine before but now its crashing my pc when i launch appcenters SIV specifically app center works but as soon as i launch SIV it crashes no errors or anything.

Update: Reinstalled all the thing and did not update the software when it asks and it works fine no problems the minute i update AppCenter and i launch SIV after restart it crashes like before. So. Dont install the update.
