You can try one of my tools.

ZenStates: https://zenstates.protonrom.com/

SMUDebugTool: https://github.com/irusanov/SMUDebugTool/releases

Due to the changes in firmware, you need to always set some values for the PBO limits. 0 was used as "auto" before, but it's now possible to set 0 as well. I'm not ready with the new version yet.

You can also use SMUDebugTool if you only need to change the multiplier in OS. You can do almost everything with it, but it's all manual. First tab allows to set the multiplier easily though. It had been tested by the top US guys and it works.

Thank u for your reply.

Both tools look interesting. But I would like to know more about the differences between them.

For example, you are mentioning that SMUDebugtool can change the Multi. But this is also what Zenstates can do, right?

And about the PBO, where should I set the PBO limits? Are u talking about the BIOS?

Hello, anyone have guide to setup Windows 7 for X570 + Zen2 (Ryzen 3rd Gen)?
Or kind-hearted enough to share the working Win7 installer ISOs / installation images (like Acronis .tib file) to restore to?
??

I have Win7 image that work flawlessly with X370 / X470 MBs + Ryzen 2nd Gen, but isn't working properly in X570 + Zen2.
I can't have any USB working on this new platform. And sometimes it has booting issue. ?

I had slipstreaming new USB3 driver to my Win 7 installer ISO but didn't work. And I heard this method already doesn't work anymore?!
And we must use / install another (modded?) USB3 driver after Win 7 installation? How? Can I get the stuff?

Thanks for helps.. ☺️?

Just for the record. My Asus X570 Formula works fine in Win7. 
I installed it using a pcie ps2 port card. 

Did you have a ghost to test it on Crosshair VIII impact if it works fine ?

I don't know what happened but it says: "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now

Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can safely remove it for this step."

I'm using a Lenovo IdeaPad 330S-15ARR with AMD Ryzen 5 2500U, 4GB RAM, 1TB HDD and AMD Radeon Vega 8. I think the issue is that the USB 3.0 Driver doesn't work properly. Not even NTLite detects the Driver. I don't have USB 2.0.

Hopefully there is something that someone can do about it.

Hello together :)

It took a bit, cause i had big trouble to find that ISO on my HDD's-Chaos; i nearly thought, that i lost it.
Found it last Night; maybe.

So there are two different ISOs.
One seems to be updated in some Way. Sadly i can't tell you, which one of these i used.

But i recommend that you also download that 'Windows Updater' which Leeghoofd posted; maybe i have done something with that.
Uploaded the ISOs to a HiDrive; can't guarantee how long they will be up.

Maybe you can give a response, if it worked or not. Good Luck and Have Fun.

Since the old updater is obsolete now, here's my current procedure. Most have been posted by @Sebyon discord. The ISO should work for AM4 and AM5.

# Prerequisites

Clean official Windows 7 SP1 ISO without cumulative updates. I use en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332.iso. You can find it by googling for the name or the checksum.

MD5: c9f7ecb768acb82daacf5030e14b271e

I think these are the official checksums

CRC32: 992B8FCD
MD5: C9F7ECB768ACB82DAACF5030E14B271E
SHA-1: 36AE90DEFBAD9D9539E649B193AE573B77A71C83
SHA-256: 36F4FA2416D0982697AB106E3A72D2E120DBCDB6CC54FD3906D06120D0653808


To check the MD5 has of the downloaded file, open a cmd in the directory and run

certutil -hashfile en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332.iso MD5

 

# Preparation

I would create a folder in C:\, e.g. "AM5" for simplicity. Also create a new directory in C:\AM5 with the name "offline".
Extract with 7zip the en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332.iso to its own directory in the newly created AM5 directory
Extract drivers, I will use as an example AMD_Ryzen_Drivers_S7_Win7_64_SHA256_G.7z to the same AM5 directory
Copy UpdatePack7R2+.exe into AM5 and run it, this will download the latest updater pack.

# Remove image editions
I will remove all image editions, except Ultimate, but you can leave another edition of choice. The ISO contains 4 editions with their indices
1. Home Basic
2. Home Premium
3. Professional
4. Ultimate

Open an elevated command prompt in C:\AM5\

Dism /Delete-Image /ImageFile:"C:\AM5\en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332\sources\install.wim" /Index:1 /CheckIntegrity

Note that when deleting an index, remaing editions change their indicies. To leave just the Ultimate, we run the above command 2 more times

Dism /Delete-Image /ImageFile:"C:\AM5\en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332\sources\install.wim" /Index:1 /CheckIntegrity
Dism /Delete-Image /ImageFile:"C:\AM5\en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332\sources\install.wim" /Index:1 /CheckIntegrity

Now Ultimate edition is with index 1.

# Add Updates

copy UpdatePack7R2-24.12.12.exe C:\AM5\en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332\sources\
cd C:\AM5\en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332\sources

Run the command and wait for the update process to complete

UpdatePack7R2-24.12.12.exe /WimFile="C:\AM5\en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332/sources/install.wim" /Index=1 /Optimize

image.png.c9c022c5739861873ca874120dc53774.png

# Add Drivers
- Mount the image

Dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"C:\AM5\en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332\sources\install.wim" /Index=1 /MountDir:C:\AM5\offline

- Integrate the drivers

Dism /Image:C:\AM5\offline /Add-Driver /Driver:"C:\AM5\AMD_Ryzen_Drivers_S7_Win7_64_SHA256_G" /Recurse /forceunsigned

or

Dism /Image:C:\AM5\offline /Add-Driver /Driver:"C:\AM5\AMD_Ryzen_Drivers_ASUS_Win7_64_SHA256_G" /Recurse /forceunsigned

for ASUS, but I've also used the first ones succesfully on my Gene

- Verify drivers are listed (optional)

Dism /Image:"C:\AM5\offline" /Get-Drivers

- Save changes to the image and unmount

Dism /Unmount-Image /MountDir:"C:\AM5\offline" /Commit

# Create new ISO
At this point you can copy/move en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332\sources\install.wim and install_Windows 7 ULTIMATE.clg to the root of AM5 directory and delete en_windows_7_ultimate_with_sp1_x64_dvd_u_677332

- Extract Windows 10 ISO with 7zip in the AM5 directory, I've used Win10_22H2_English_x64.iso and renamed as "test"
- Copy modified install.wim and install_Windows 7 ULTIMATE.clg to test\sources and replace existing file(s)
- Create new ISO with some app, I've used ImgBurn or WinAIO Maker Professional

Test it and if it installs successfully, you can start trimming it manually or with tools like NTLite. I use MBR SSD and CMS turned on in BIOS. To make BenchMate work, extract/move it in Program Files.

I've personally installed the same ISO to MSI B550 Uinify-X AM4 and Asus X670E Gene AM5.

For installation different windowses from the same flash drive I use Ventoy as once setup, you just drop the ISO on the flash drive and it is then selectable in the install menu.

TL;DR;

For those who don't want to spend time creating and optimizing their own image, here's my current base ISO (mostly stock with few unattended settings and not compressed). I think it was created with the "generic" driver pack.

Windows.7.Ultimate.SP1.x64.EN.AM5_base.iso
