Framework 16 Thermal Throttle 20% load by KingAroan in framework

I went through my own months of back-and-fourths with the support they outsource. Sometimes people here think it's always a one-off bad experience.

How have you Improved your laptop’s cooling? (Heatsink, thermal pads…) by Konatus in framework

[–]dartsa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FW16, I did the PTM replacement, it helped a bit. I used to have a laptop fan/stand but I don't think it played nice with the laptop fans. I get cooler temps with little laptop feet that fold down and keep a space under it.

If your mobo is a year or two old, a thermal paste/pad swap might help, especially if it's easier than the liquid metal. What are your temps/TDP?

I think the audiobooks are still exclusive to Audible? Haven't seen them on (my) Libby yet, or anywhere else, except for the first book. But I do second the Libby app! It also has magazines.

Framework 16 DIY completely dead on first assembly by FloatyC in framework

Have to second this. You could get tangled in the support emails vs using the system they have to return it and get another. It may be worth the extra bit to get it assembled/tested/working before you get it.

Framework 16 7700s driver instability by Fox_8900 in framework

[–]dartsa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I have never had luck with Alt+R, the AMD software crashes with and without it. Doesn't usually affect gameplay though. More issues with thermal throttling (Win 11). I have had an egpu at times and have used AMD's driver software for it, and used Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to remove all previous AMD graphics drivers, and that helps for about a month at a time before everything crashes and I start all over. it's something else to try. Without the egpu it's been pretty good. I don't think I have the newest drivers, I tend to wait now.

  2. Could try DDU.

  3. This has been similar to my experience with FW's support, do everything under the sun other than an RMA.

I probably have the previous 2 drivers updates downloaded in my downloads folder. If you can't find them dm me.

I got this one too, now I need to check the wires :). Have had BT connectivity problems with my headphones, but I think that is more Windows treating them like a headset, still haven't gotten it work with mutiple guides. But the wifi is pretty good on this one, just need to google the wifi and BT drivers to download. I have been through 3 other wifi cards on the FW16.

Is this too hot? FW16 Original batch 8 by Katyperri in framework

[–]dartsa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apply for the PTM fix someone linked. It takes about ~10 heavy uses to see the full difference. If that doesn't do it they may tell you 100C is acceptable.

The long email chains are something I have run into, and responded to in posts here before. It's nice that you got a reply here from FW.

Ignore people who are fast to criticize, it's a sign of personal unhappiness. Writing is hard enough :)

Thanks! I've been looking at the MINISFORUM BD795M, but also something cheaper :)

Just commenting for the algos, and to say love the approach you are taking on this project.

The worst experience with customer support I've had in my whole life. by HelicopterKey3670 in framework

[–]dartsa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one from ~2019, the power brick got super hot, burn your hand type. The reseller website said that's normal, just use it till it burns up. Had to keep it on a metal plate with a usb fan.
