Hi,
I found a useful thread here:
Its a different piece of hardware, the Beelink GTR7, but it uses the same 7840-7940 CPUs as the FW16 uses.
Quote from that thread:
“From what I have heard is the original issue was a design hiccup on the motherboard which was causing problems with idle power management as well as issues when a display output over 1080p was used. This wasn’t just a Beelink issue as it also affected other vendors like Minisforum’s early versions as well and was due to an issue in the original reference design from AMD. So, anyone that just used the refence board design from AMD got hit with this and OEM’s like HP and Dell that design their own boards, had no issues with their 7840/7940 systems.”
Maybe FW used the same original reference design from AMD as the Beelink and Minisforum have?
That thread also contains a nice picture of the change to the Beelink mainboard that fixed the problem for them.
Near the 1R0 chip, towards the bottom right of the RAM sockets.
I have emailed FW support with this question. Awaiting a response.
