You need to figure out what else is running in the background.
Something is consuming 2W averaged over the last 34 seconds.
Iāve killed every process I know I can kill. I donāt know what else to do T_T
Take a look over here:
Power optimizations under Windows: lower temps, longer battery life - Framework Laptop - Framework Community
If you have Edge running in the background (it is by default), youāll need to go to Edgeās Settings ā System and performance:
Disable Startup boost
Disable Continue running background extensions and apps when Microsoft Edge is closed
Thanks for answering my questions before. I have one final suggestion, although finicky. Iād suggest if youāre feeling confident enough to disassemble your fan Module and re-paste your CPU.
Itās not ideal, but itās also the only other thing I can think of that could possibly help.

I am not.
Completely understandable, in that case, I hope that the Official Support Channels are able to resolve your Incident. Thank you for taking the time to read my suggestions

Iām surprised no-one has pointed this out yetā¦ While it appears to be working, the laptop is really supposed to be running with 3200Mhz (Native, not XMP) RAM. That could be a notable cause of the lack of performance.

Would you mind elaborating on this? I genuinely find this point interesting and would like to know more.

I donāt know anything about RAM speeds and feeds. Itās all magic numbers to me.
It could be the cannibalized RAM is causing the issue from what I am gathering. If this is the case then I believe the framework marketplace can provide something appropriate or even your local computer hardware store.
From my own experience, RAM for laptops is a tricksy business for sorting out when it comes to anything other than what the manufacturer provisions. Perhaps thereās a buyerās guide for RAM here on the forum somewhere?

ā¦because slow RAM doesnāt cause PROCHOT.
Not normally, no. But one has to take into account that this generation of processors were all really designed to utilize soldered DIMMs at LPDDR4x-4267 or standard
DDR4-3200. Not to the extent that AMD Ryzen absolutely needs FAST RAM for processor functions, Intel has probably followed in kind, offloading parts of the processorās capabilities, making it reliant upon the memory speed.
We have a processor that is only specād for 2 speeds, and a motherboard that is only really specād for one (With no support for XMP, meaning that it needs a native 3200Mhz). A portion of this puzzle may very well be that DDR4 RAM from the beginning of the DDR4 Generation of RAM isnāt able to give the processor what it needs, when it needs it. And the processor in response is hitting limits that it normally would not be hitting because of it.
Weāre talking about a mostly standard product, with pretty tight requirements on stuff like RAM speed, and a suggested QVL list for models, speeds, timings, and capacities. We have an item that we know off the bat is not on a few of these lists. As far as troubleshooting goes, it seems like a decent item to take a look at. āWhat separates this laptop from the hundreds/thousands of others that seem to be chugging along?ā
Framework has made a list of tested DIMMS with model numbers, beyond this list forum members have had success with other kits āaroundā these product numbers.
This is my gut feeling too, ultimately. Perhaps the original paste was pushed too thin, or the thermal pads are not placed correctly. Stuff happens.
Not going to push the issue, though if it is from just a state of not being familiar, and needing a guide, Framework has one:
No. We have a processor thatās specād for 2 maximum speeds base on memory type (DDR4, and LPDDR4/x)
Take Intelās LPDDR4/x memory validation for example. Itās not just supporting 4266MHz alone. 4266MHz is the maximum supported speed of LPDDR4/x:

https://www.intel.ca/content/www/ca/en/products/platforms/details/tiger-lake-up3.html
Take some lower-end Tiger Lake UP3 laptopsā¦theyāre paired with DDR4-2133MHz memory. Thatās how they cheap out on you in various areas (memory speed, storage speed, TBW, power supply, display panel colour space coverageā¦etc)

I noticed once my laptop was throttling instead of ramping the fan(s) up, resulting in very low performance in games (Windows 11).
Itās happened again today, so I came to the forum and spotted this post.
Iām on latest BIOS 1.37, up to date drivers etc. The fan is running, but it wonāt ramp up when the CPU is under load.
Very strange.
The BIOS 3.07 (right?) is not the latest any more. The 3.10 is the latest.
Got my version numbers mixed up. Yes, 3.07!
Iāve just dropped to UEFI and then booted back to Windows and everything is back to normal, performance wise, fans kicking in.

I do notice this on my 12th gen too. Wondering how to tweak the fan curve.
Iāve seen the recent responses but it is currently exam week and after that iāll be moving out from uni dorms so i wonāt be doing anything about it for a few weeks
