I don’t have a ugreen charger, but since installing the beta firmware I’ve had no issues with stuttering using my delta 240W adapter.

Same here, with the ugreen 500w and the delta 240w

Since going to eGPU, I will likely stick with the 180w adapter as the eGPU has its own PSU. No need for extra power and seems to provide everything needed with what I have going on. Running RDR2 on ultra settings, the power/battery discharge never seems to dip and stays at 80% constantly.
Edit: 80% is the cap I set in BIOS…
Because the charge controller is explicitly told not to do that, that has nothing to do with what the adapter is actually capable of.
The charge controller could also be told to limit to 100% of negotiated and allow 200% for 1ms (with a cooldown). I have played around with that on the 13 (uses the same controller) and it didn’t do much there but we also have somewhat lower power requirements there XD.

So i send back my UGREEN Charger, the BETA BIOS 3.06 didn’t fix the issue withe the stuttering, so i decided im just gona wait for the official charger. But a cupple of days ago i was sent the “New ALPHA BIOS 3.07”. so i was wandering if anyone is interested in trying it with the UGREEN charger.
And also if anyone else recived the ALPHA BIOS.

I think it is great that you have been offered an alpha bios. I suggested FW do that a while ago. I.e. you report a specific problem, FW try to fix it, and give you an alpha to try. It let’s them confirm they have actually fixed it or not. If it fixes it for you, they then include it in the next release.
The alpha is unlikely to be useful to anyone else.

jep seams right, the thing is it isn’t that specific to my problem it’s quite broad according to the fix list. give me a moment, im going to check if there is anything in the E-Mail regarding not to share it, when there is not im just going to Paste it in this forum including the download links (I know sketchy .exe liks from strangers but im NOT pressuring anyone to download it)

Tried 3.07. Stutters with Delta 240W on High Performance selected. No problems ad of now with Balanced power plan.
Thanks for the feedback. I hope there are fixes in the pipeline so we don’t see the same behavior with the upcoming 240W Framework charger.
Just out of curiosity: when I used the UGREEN charger with my battery at 100% SoC after a restart, I didn’t encounter the stuttering problem. However, the results were still inconsistent. Have you also noticed that?
I too have observed that. Progress?
No, sadly the stutters are following me like the plague.
I tried to rollback to 3.06 and change drivers (official FW latest, official FW previous and public AMD) to no avail. 240W stutters in every power setting, 180 does not. I went back to 3.06, latest OEM drivers (framework bundle) and 180w for now.
We’re kinda back to square 1…

Let them resolve the issues they are already dealing with currently for the 240w before you consider jumping higher.. likely issues to present themselves there too.

300w is only for Dell’s special charging tech, it just allows for higher amperage at 6+A for supported (dell) laptops. But for anything else it is a plain old full-spec PD3.1 240W max.
I am already on preorder for FW charger soooo…
Just for everyone’s awareness and planning purposes wanted to mention that I placed an order for the FW 240W power supply and it is slated to ship as part of Batch 5 in December. So if you want one this year, I recommend placing the order now.

Oh wow, this is cool! This is the dock I’ve been waiting for!
I bet it’ll have crippling firmware and compatibility issues and you wouldn’t really want to use it with anything other than a Dell. That’s how it’s been with every Dell dock for as long as I can remember
What you are describing is HP docks to me. My Dell dock is miles better than 2x the price HP one and gets firmware updates regularly on LVFS.
And, at least from the manual, it seems that they haven’t locked any features behind Dell own hardware, only added on top of what PD/USB doesn’t have, unlike HP.

Glad to hear it! Which one do you have currently, the one you linked or a different one?
