Does anyone else get power drain while using the Framework 240W charger?

The reason FW limits it is due to sensor measurement errors, to avoid actually pulling more than 240W when the device thinks it’s pulling less. As far as I can tell, that’s not what’s happening to me, so I undo those checks.

And yeah, there’s a total power budget that’s shared between the CPU/iGPU/dGPU. Too much power on one of those can squeeze another component into drawing less power. That power budget can be tweaked with tools like RyzenAdj and Framework Control (on Windows).

Yeah I do use the framework control tool but it’s the instability of the power between them that can’t be changed. I’d rather have the GPU take priority in power over the CPU
