Fan Noise while using Microsoft Teams (AMD)

Framework Laptop 13
1

Good evening

I love my FW13 on Ryzen but one thing drives me crazy: as soon as I join a video conference in Teams the Fan Noise becomes unbearable loud - when the laptop is position on the table as it should be.

As soon as I put it upright against the wall, it is okay.

Is this the same issue as Weird fan noise on Framework 13 Laptop AMD or not? It only happens when using Microsoft Teams.

Anything I can do to fix this myself?

Thanks
Andreas

True :slight_smile: The fan turns off very quickly. Not instantly, obviously, but “exposing” the “full underbelly” seems to help.

I think there is a third option: why does Teams cause such a high temperature and thus Fan noise, right?

I never had to lift the laptop up like you did - if this would be the case, that is very bad design. I am not running GPT-6 on my Framework, just Teams :slight_smile:

Yeah, and the heat also the problem?

Propping up the back does measurably improve the cooling capacity at the same fan speed, Though not enough to make a difference between unbearably loud and bearably loud unless it was right at the edge.

Back propped up by about 2cm on a hard surface gives me around 2-3 extra W of cooling at max fan but I do got something of a weird setup with liquid metal and raised power-limits.

If it was flat on a soft surface vs propped up the difference would be quite huge.

Disabling intel turbo boost on the amd framework may get a bit complicated XD
