AMD Customer Care: A Complete, Practical Guide for Consumers and IT Pros

Official Support Channels and When to Use Each

AMD provides customer care primarily through its web-based Support Portal. Start here for drivers, technical articles, and to open a service request: https://www.amd.com/en/support. The portal consolidates graphics (Radeon), processors (Ryzen, Threadripper, EPYC via OEM), chipsets, and software such as AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition and Radeon PRO/Enterprise drivers. If you’re unsure which driver you need, AMD’s Auto-Detect tool can identify hardware and suggest the correct package.

For peer-to-peer help, the AMD Community forum at https://community.amd.com hosts active discussions, bug workarounds, and announcements. It’s especially useful for edge cases, system build advice, and known-issue confirmations. However, for warranty and RMA decisions you must use the official ticket system, as forums do not initiate or track replacements.

AMD does not offer general consumer telephone support for technical issues. All consumer technical, warranty, and AMD.com Store order inquiries flow through the online forms. This ensures accurate hardware identification, attachment of diagnostics, and traceable communication.

Contact Details and Escalation Paths

To contact AMD Support, submit a ticket at https://www.amd.com/en/support/contact. Choose the correct product category (e.g., “Graphics,” “Processors,” “Chipsets,” or “AMD Online Store”), then provide your product identifiers and system details. You will receive a case number by email; keep it for follow-up. Most issues can be resolved via email with logs and screenshots without a phone call.

Corporate contact (not for consumer technical support): Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., 2485 Augustine Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA. Main line: +1 408-749-4000. Use this only for corporate matters or official correspondence; opening a support case for technical or warranty service must be done online for verification and tracking.

Warranties, RMAs, and Proof-of-Purchase

Retail “boxed” AMD desktop processors (e.g., Ryzen and Ryzen Threadripper HEDT) typically include a 3-year limited warranty from the original date of purchase when bought new from an authorized reseller. You will need the CPU’s OPN/SKU and serial number (printed on the heat spreader and box), plus a legible purchase receipt. For EPYC processors and systems, warranty and support are handled by your server OEM or integrator; contact them first for diagnostics and RMA authorization.

Retail Radeon graphics cards are usually manufactured and warranted by board partners (e.g., ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Sapphire, PowerColor, XFX). Warranty terms vary by brand and region—commonly 2–3 years, sometimes longer with registration. If your card is partner-branded, open the warranty claim with the partner’s support (found on their website). AMD’s direct RMA coverage applies primarily to AMD-branded products.

RMA process basics: file a ticket with complete diagnostics, receive approval, then ship the product to the address provided in your region. In most regions, you are responsible for shipping to AMD or the partner; return shipping for the replacement is typically covered by the warranty provider. Do not ship accessories not requested (e.g., cables), and remove aftermarket coolers. Replacements are generally like-for-like or equivalent when the exact model is unavailable.

Drivers, Software, and Self-Service Tools

For graphics, AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition provides driver updates, performance tuning, game profiles, and crash reporting. Enterprise environments can use Radeon PRO/Enterprise drivers for extended validation and quarterly release cadence. When upgrading or troubleshooting, use the AMD Cleanup Utility to remove existing drivers in Safe Mode before installing a fresh package to avoid residual conflicts.

The AMD Bug Report Tool (installed with Adrenalin) captures driver logs and system metadata with a single click, streamlining bug triage. Include the problem title, steps to reproduce, and exact game or application build. For chipset drivers (recommended on Ryzen motherboards), download the latest package for your socket and OS from the Support page to ensure correct power plans and PCIe/USB controller updates.

• Identify your hardware: exact CPU model (e.g., Ryzen 7 5800X), GPU (e.g., Radeon RX 6700 XT), motherboard model/BIOS version, RAM kit, PSU wattage, and monitor make/refresh rate.
• Collect logs: Windows Event Viewer Application/System logs, DxDiag.txt, MSINFO32.nfo, and Adrenalin bug report ZIP (if a driver crash).
• Reproduce steps: list precise actions, game settings (resolution, API like DX12/Vulkan), and any overlays or capture tools enabled.
• Clean install path: disconnect from the internet, run AMD Cleanup Utility in Safe Mode, reboot, install the recommended driver, then reconnect to fetch optional components.
• Stability A/B: test with default clocks (no overclock/undervolt), known-good RAM EXPO/XMP off, and latest motherboard BIOS and chipset driver.

For Business, OEM, and Data Center Customers

EPYC CPUs, Instinct accelerators, and OEM systems are supported through your system vendor (HPE, Dell, Lenovo, Supermicro, etc.) under their warranty and service-level agreements. They provide on-site service, firmware life-cycle packages, and validated driver/BIOS bundles tailored to your platform. Contact your OEM first for diagnostics, field replacement, and firmware advisories.

For professional workloads (CAD/CAE, DCC, data science), use Radeon PRO/Enterprise drivers and check ISV certifications for your application versions. ROCm (for supported GPUs) is the stack for AI/HPC; deployments should follow vendor-qualified builds and kernel/driver compatibility matrices. If you have an AMD business account or partner contract, route escalations through your AMD sales or partner representative with your case ID for coordinated triage.

Response Times, Data Handling, and Regional Notes

After submitting a ticket, you’ll receive an automated confirmation immediately. First responses commonly arrive within 1–3 business days depending on volume and issue complexity. To prevent delays, attach all requested diagnostics in your initial message and reply in-thread (rather than opening duplicates), keeping the case number in the subject.

Expect support to request proof of purchase, product photos (labels/serials), and logs. Do not share full credit card numbers or sensitive personal data; receipts with redacted payment details are acceptable. For RMAs, images showing physical condition help accelerate approval. Keep packaging until your case is closed in case return shipment is required.

Regional service locations and specific RMA shipping addresses are provided only after approval and differ by country to comply with import/export and e-waste regulations. If you purchased through a retailer within their return window (often 14–30 days), contact the retailer first; they can resolve DOA cases faster and may offer immediate exchange.

Bottom Line

Use the AMD Support Portal for drivers and tickets, the Community for peer insights, and your OEM or board partner for hardware-specific warranties. Provide precise system details, logs, and proof of purchase to minimize back-and-forth. When in doubt about the correct path (AMD vs partner vs retailer), start with a ticket at https://www.amd.com/en/support/contact and include where and when you purchased—Support will route your case to the right team.
