@Aida2224 I’d be fearful of the added pressure in the long term! Like a heavy GPU without a support bracket in a PC case: it won’t get a PCB crack after a day, but check again after a year.
Framework released a video on a new FW13 motherboard and some other stuff. Interesting detail: they’re switching to Honeywell thermal pads for (if I’m recalling this correctly, I listened to it in the car and can’t replay rn) all FW13 motherboards. They don’t really say why, only that the performance of the Honeywell stuff is better. But reading between the lines one could see this as concluding that the existing TIM is insufficient.
(starts around 01:58)
Again, I’d love to hear more details from Framework themselves. Ideally, if this fixes our weird loud fans, I’d appreciate steps to reproduce the cooling situation from this new FW13 board.
