I’m still having this issue where the CPU gets completely stuck at 400 MHz. This time, I waited over 24 hours, but without surprise, it didn’t recover on its own. I had to use the disconnect battery trick in the BIOS to get it back to normal. Is there really no proper solution for this?
Luckily, I don’t use this laptop as a workstation, just Firefox, with quite a lot of tabs though. I’ve already replaced the thermal paste to help cooling and avoid throttling, but it still happens about once a month. I’m not convinced the cooling design is very effective.
It’s a shame, because I really appreciate the modular design, repairability, and the overall philosophy behind the Framework 13. But with problems like this, my next laptop will most likely be from a different brand. Although I could consider a motherboard upgrade if there’s a solid improvement in the latest versions.
Edit: Oh WOW. 12th Gen Intel Core BIOS 3.17 Release Stable
6. Fixed high temperature causes continuous CPU throttling to 400Mhz.
Thanks! I updated. If you do not hear back from me, it means the problem has been resolved
