You have to tweak the registry to get those inputs.:

thanks, I will give it a try

I had an issue (batch 3) with my CPU fan that resulted in the support team sending me a new CPU cooler. When I replaced the CPU cooler I re-pasted the cooler using the same paste footprint that came from the factory but replaced the paste with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme that I had left from my desktop build. Not sure that would make any difference vs the OEM Shin-Etsu but under a full load stress test my CPU temps don’t push past 72C anymore. Before my fan was replaced it used to hit 100. When I pulled the faulty cooler unit off, the application was not uniform. I can maintain sustained loads reliably now and all though the fan ramps up, the temps never surpass that 72C mark.

I have a batch 5 i5-1135G7. Just ran Furmark and Prime95 at full tilt for 15 minutes straight. Both GPU and CPU topped out at 67 degrees consuming a total of 50W per my calculations (GPU-Z isn’t entirely accurate on these integrated chips). That means the cooling solution is likely good for up to 65W going full blast. What’s probably happening is the fans ramp up slowly, allowing the CPU to go all the way up to 100 before they throttle back down because most workloads aren’t exactly like Furmark or Prime95 - they don’t just constantly blast every square millimeter of silicon with heavy-duty multithreaded workloads, even in 2021.
On windows you should be able to easily limit the CPU usage in Control Panel

True, works on my old thinkpad x200, not sure if it’ll work with framework. But almost definitely will!
Thanks, this seems to work for me. Was hitting 100 at boot, now maxed at 91 running Cinebench.
Apparently I spoke too soon. I’ve had all 4 cores (1165G7) hit 100 in the past few minutes, while CPU utilization hasn’t exceeded 40%. The laptop has good airflow (it’s in a vertical stand) and ambient temp is ~21. What’s up with this?
You were hitting 100C at boot? Are you on the most current BIOS (3.07)? That seems really high. Are your fans going ballistic when you boot? What OS are you booting?
Yes to all of the above. I’m on Windows 11.
Just to be 100% clear, you are saying that when your framework is off (powered completely down and shut off), and you turn it on that the fans go ballistic and you are reaching temps of 100C?
If this is the case I would recommend you contact Framework support because this is not normal behavior.

What batch were you in? I recall a pump-out issue with thermal paste from early batches
I was batch 5. Framework is sending me a new heat sink assembly, although I’m a little doubtful that will solve the problem. After more observation and testing, it seems to be intermittent spikes rather than general overheating. Whoever I was corresponding with says that this model CPU is built to occasionally push up to 100C, but it seems overeager if it’s doing it with minimal CPU usage. There were no spikes when running cinebench.
Was the knowledge base article published?

I can see how that would fit what I’m seeing. I’ve had CoreTemp set to put the computer to sleep if it got over about 95 because of a previous laptop that would randomly wake up and overheat in my car, so it was tripping that constantly. I’ve turned off the sleep feature and I’m getting used to this behavior, now that I know to expect it.
I’m much more concerned about a recurring pattern of the computer trying to sleep/restart/shut down and getting stuck with fans going full blast after it enters the power down process. Since CoreTemp was putting it to sleep a lot, that was happening a lot too. Now it’s more sporadic, but I’m trying to document when it does happen. That’s another thread, though.

I have a 12th Gen, and I get this (100C) always, when I run loads which run even only some of the processors at full speed for more than about 15 seconds.
This is with Debian.
