Framework Laptop 16 Ryzen 7040 BIOS 3.07 Release STABLE

They also decided to make a FW16 instead of fixing the 13 XD.

But yeah the desktop did feel kinda weird given they can already not really keep their current product stack supported.

In this case though they at least told you the fix is supposed to come with a further update, I have hear absolutely nothing about the 5v charging or the overly agressive ocp or the mini discharge cycles (which we have pretty much figured out what they are caused by and how to eliminate them) or just the overall buggy pd controller on the 13 (and 16 too).

Will this 3.07 stable release at least improve upon some thermals compared to 3.06? Because right now, my FW16 is blowing as if it’s going to take off soon. I have running:

  • Zen browser (admittedly, not the most memory/energy efficient, but I’m just writing this post on it)
  • Excel
  • Outlook
  • Teams
  • OrcaSlicer

And this is what I’m getting:

have you replaced liquid metal to PTM? if not you can request it from framework support.

Not necessary but the truth and it’s always the communication. Since the last weeks, it’s much better.

You have at least one core running in the 80s while the rest are around 30-40.

That chip needs a repaste, not something any BIOS changes can fix. If you don’t have a PTM pad yet, you can probably just substitute standard thermal paste for a while until you get the pad.
