Hello, this is affecting me as well. I bought a FW DIY 16 about a week ago and was working decently until last night where I noticed the CPU temps spiking to 99* while downloading a game on Steam. I’ve set out to replace the thermal paste today but is there anything else I can do? Will this void my warranty if I fix on my own? I’m not too worried about breaking anything as I’m pretty technical and have applied and socketed many CPU’s, but I want to make sure an official solution isn’t coming down the wire before I do.
Thermal Paste would only be half of a fix, but no it shouldn’t void your Warranty as of Frameworks Philosophy. They are aware of the Problem and we do not know how one will be elegable of the Fix once it will be released. Maybe its disqualifying if you already helped yourself temporarely. But be careful, as to a high probabillity the Liquid Metal has run off the Die and is sitting around the Capacitors, to not damage any surface mounted Parts around the CPU Die while removing it.

Damn yeah that might be out of my expertise then. Any recommendations for the meantime? I turned it on today to watch the temps and it seems to be fine today. I’m not doing anything different though.
