Ordered on April 3, arrived just now (to northern Germany)!
If you happen to have āsignature on fileā, this would be why it as left unsigned for. Do you happen to know if this is the case?

Upgraded my laptop last night, and then promptly installed my old 11th gen board into my waiting CoolerMaster case. Both machines working flawlessly. Super happy with the upgrade! In particular, while my laptop was already reasonably fast (now faster!) Iām actually most satisfied with the encased 11th gen board ā it replaced my old HTPC machine from 2015. That thing flies now, and has no problem playing high bitrate H265 videos!
The only thing that I wasnāt expecting was the boot time of the new motherboard on the first boot. I had forgotten about the memory training and was briefly concerned when I was staring at a black screen for 2-3 minutes.

Yes, I do have my signature on file, but that wasnāt the issue. I was expecting FedEx to send a notification when the item was out for delivery, and that didnāt happen. Everything worked out though!
Last night, I tried to run a VirtualBox VM (Lubuntu guest) with the UEFI secure boot still enabled.
I had to setup a MOK signing key, enroll it in the UEFI firmware and then sign the modules. The annoying thing is that every boot, I need to re-sign the VirtualBox modules for the VM to start!

Received mine last Tuesday a day early, installed that day, no issues and everythingās a-okay. Just posting pics of the package since part of the outside was torn (but the inside box was perfectly fine).

It arrived! Package was in the same condition as the post above, but the mainboard was fine.
Iām so used to noisy Framework fans, this board is so quiet itās almost creepy. I can get the fans to spin up, but I have to try pretty hard.

got my Framework on Monday, and i got a strange behavior. My display showing something that looks like image noise on black and dark backrounds. especially when im charging my Laptop. I will try tomorrow to reseat the display connector, hopefully it will help.
Everything else is great. Got 32 GB Kingston Fury 5600 Mhz CL40 and memory training took under a minute.

Technically speaking I donāt have my signature on file (from what I have checked with my online Fedex account). I had mine dropped off at the door without any notification from the driver. FedEx email came 2 minutes after the delivery.
I think there is a level of detail that FedEx cannot necessary manage at every level of the company (on its delivery).
FedEx cannot always force the drivers to walk packages to the front door. Technically the driver can leave the package at the garage door, the sidewalk, etc
FedEx does not even check that the picture captured by the drive is fussy (vs a clear high quality photo).
I would suggest the best way to deal with FedEx (or any delivery company) is watch for the shipment delivery notifications; use a camera or doorbell camera; and be aware of weather conditions.
It is hit or miss to get a good driver that will take the care to make sure packages are secure.
Mine had a similar tear in the brown packaging, but the box in the photo i linked was very similar to mine.
I was planning to assembly my until this afternoon/this evening. I know I received it Monday, but had not had a free moment (from daily life activities) to upgrade to this new mainboard.
I did get my unit assembledā¦
I took the Intel Gen 11th mainboard and wifi card out. Transplant those components with a new audio port and wifi antenna to the cooler master.
The unit booted up. I stopped because I wanted to focus on the AMD mainboard.
I did get the mainboard, wifi, new DDR memory, and new NVMe installed. The unit did power on, but I got a error. I was able to check the BIOS and it recognized all the RAM and the mainboard.
I was using an USB stick that uses ventoy ā that could have been an issue. I am not changing to a simple USB A boot stick with Fedora Workstation Live. I am using 38 as I want to wait for 39 when it is officially released.
AMD batch 3 arrived today, now working with Manjaro Linux KDE , kernel 6.6,
64G GSkill Ripjaws DDR5-5600, and Samsung 990 2T. Everything Iāve tested works so far,including fingerprint reader, wifi, sound, Bluetooth.
It arrived with BIOS 3.02, but I used the USB upgrade to 3.03.
Installation needed turning off TPM in the bios.
Fingerprint reader needed extra drivers described here and Arch Linux wikis.
RAM is running at claimed speed, at least in BIOS.
Sweet machine!

Just curious, but Framework previously stated in April that the 7040 series wonāt ship with a 2 pin RTC battery. Now that a fair number of people are getting their units, is this no longer the case, or what is everyone using to power their RTC? Iām only familiar with button cell CMOS batteries, so Iām not sure what part would replace it.
Performed my 11th gen i5 to Ryzen 5 upgrade tonight. Everything went smoothly on the physical side. I installed Windows and installed the driver bundle. Wifi is working but canāt break 100 Mbps while my previous mainboard and intel Wifi card hit my ISP cap of 500 Mbps. Using the RZ616 Wifi card recommended by Framework.
Edit:
Slow wifi speed turned out to be router related. Seems to be working fine now!

Most people obviously use the main laptop battery. The RTC battery is only needed if you run the laptop without the main battery in a case or so and then only if you intend to regularly disconnect the power supply.
Did you file a support case with Framework?
On Mint myself and not quite has the same problem but does seem similar. On first boot I am able to use my finger without an issue but it does require a āenterā to complete the log in. I do not get a password prompt unless I have had a failed finger print attempt.
I am far from a pro at this, but will see if I can dig in and see what is going on in the next day or so.
Yes I reported to framework support but no response yet.
