> [@BigBoat](#): > > My 12th gen had the issue where all cores would throttle down to 400MHz. Ultimately, I had to open the laptop and reapply the thermal paste on the cpu. Not ideal, but my CPU hasn’t been locked at 400 MHz since then. Tried it, twice, on two different boards, didn’t help. (I’ve been having an intermittent back and forth with Framework support for quite a long time now… believe me when I say we’ve tried a _lot_ of things.) May I ask what thermal paste brand/model you used? Maybe that’s significant… Edit: er, after posting I realize this is super OT for this thread. Sorry, y’all. @BigBoat, feel free to DM me or reply over on my [thread about this](http://community.frame.work/t/responded-excessive-cpu-thermal-throttling-on-12th-gen/21569). --- _[View the full topic](https://community.frame.work/t/12th-gen-intel-core-bios-3-08-release/43244)._
