Pretty inexcusable for AMD not to have X670e chipset drivers available for download on launch day!
Spent $1600 today on the best AMD CPU ever made, a new motherboard, DDR5 that meets EXPO specs - and I dont have chipset drivers available.
How Frustrating.
I do see on the site there is no AM 5 option for chipset drivers. This is odd. Have you tried the motherboard manufacturer website?
Found out that there are 2 types of Chip sets depending on the model of your motherboard.
X670E Chip set and X670 Chip set: https://www.wepc.com/reviews/best-motherboard-for-amd-ryzen-9-7950x/
The main difference between the two chipsets is what features they offer to you the user. X670E focuses more on pushing your CPU as far as possible with overclocking and speed. Whilst X670 is a more standard basic offering with fewer features but crucially a cheaper price.
But both use the same AMD Chip set drivers.
As an example only: I went to MSI website that has drivers download for their X670E Motherboard and it is using a this chip set from AMD: https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/MEG-X670E-GODLIKE/support#driver
The above, I believe are considered to be unofficial from other websites, but MSI is using it for the Ryzen 9 7950X Processor Motherboard.
Don't know how dependable this foreign website is but the above AMD Chipset does list 6xx Motherboards: https://www.station-drivers.com/index.php/en/outils/Drivers/Amd-Ati/Chipsets/Chipsets-AM4-AM5/Amd-Ch...
You notice it mentions it is UNOFFICIAL but this same Chipset is used by MSI.
I would personally open a AMD Service Request and ask them if the above Chipset is compatible with the 670X Motherboard: https://www.amd.com/en/support/contact-email-form
Good luck!
After seeing your post, I even used their Contact Us button on the Support pages. They finally sent me a response pointing to the Graphics drivers for the CPUs. Even after pointing out that they STILL don't have Chipset drivers out for the CPUs/Platform, they still don't understand:

I don't know what day they were posted, but am5 chipset drivers are listed.
I think they must have just done it this morning. When I posted my earlier response, I'd just finished looking and don't recall seeing those there. Of course, I could have had a special moment and missed it entirely. Thanks for the heads up.
Hey! which motherboard is the best for AMD Ryzen 9 7950x? Need suggestions.
Should I go for ASUS ROG CrossHair Extreme X670E or there is any other better option? I am a bit confused.
Thanks,
Regards,
Andrew!
