Framework 16 power specifications

Since there seems to be a lot of people who want hard data on USB-C charging and TDP I thought I would post my findings. I will continue to update this with testing:

Charger Power Turbo Continuous Turbo (7700S disabled) nominal (7700S disabled) GPU (turbo/nominal) Notes
Battery 40 15 60 60 “Power Saver” setting
Battery (no 7700S) 55 55 60 60
60W 36 36 60 60
65W
95W
100W 60 30 60 60 54W/50W GPU max temp: 64C
180W
Conditions Power Draw Cpu Package Power
basic web browsing, minimum screen brightness, 7700S installed but disabled. 22W, 19.69V, 1.17A 5W
Basic web browsing, minimum screen brightness, 7700S enabled 12W, 19.69V, 0.62A 5W
basic web browsing, max screen brightness, 7700S enabled 19W, 19.64V, 0.98A 5W
CPU-Z Stress test, 7700S enabled, max screen brightness 42W. 19.64V. 2.21A 27W
CPU-Z Stress test, 7700S disabled, minimum screen brightness 80W. 19.04V, 4.22A 51W (Thermal throttles)

Notes:
7850HS CPU, 7700S GPU, 32GB (2x16GB) crucial quad channel 5600MHz, WD Black SN770 2TB, kit, 2x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x HDMI, 1x audio, 1x 3D printed blank cover.

60W charger is a anker 736 on the “tablet” port (60W max)
100W charger is a “Spigen” arcdoc 1204/PD2100 but was also tested with the 100W of the anker 736.

Max TDP with 7700S disabled: 60W “turbo” 51W continuous. 100*C ON DIE INSTANTLY! (thermal throttling to 51W for me)

Other than as noted, all tests were performed with max performance settings in windows.

That sounds like that liquid metal solution isn’t performing as well as I would have hoped. My 13 with lm does 45W continuous with a 95C temp limit and that thing has a way smaller heatsink.

I am inclined to believe my unit is defective as the GPU has a similar peak power draw but peaks at 70*C
