I have a gen 1 Framework 16. Lately, this thing just runs at 100% fan speed, even if the laptop is barely doing anything. One of the temperatures from “sensors” is showing 100 C, while the other ones are more reasonable, at ~35 C. Is there a way to disable a “bad core”? This thing is borderline unusable for daily use now.
Possibly an accumulation of dust on the inside. Open her up and give her a clean. Redo thermal paste / pads. Otherwise… other FW16 users in this forum might have ideas -or- contact FW Support by way of a ticket.
If it is gen 1 it’s likely using liquid metal. You could swap that for PTM, that should help.

Contact support about getting the thermal interface material changed out. Something is likely wrong with the cooling in that particular laptop. It happens, it is one of the reasons they changed materials moving forward.
The liquid metal was a good idea it just did not pan out like they thought it would over time.
Ok thanks, I reached out to them shortly after my posy and have not heard back yet.
