[TRACKING] Framework Desktop Ryzen AI MAX 300 BIOS 3.04 Release STABLE

i am using the hdplex with cpu @176w max tdp. no issuses !

ps: I measured the power consumption at the wall socket with a multimeter, even running FurMark, CPU Burner, and even DiskMark. The maximum power draw was 268w at the wall socket, and that only lasted for a few seconds. No problems at all! The HDPlex 250W handles peak loads very well.

btw… Power consumption in idle mode has dropped from 20W to 15W! The HDPlex is also very efficient!

curious to know which 2U case you find/use :wink:

for Fedora headless you can use

sudo tuned-adm profile balanced

to get that ~100W power limit…

That say I have a simple MB (128Gb of RAM) with 1 ssd (4To Samsung 990Pro…) did not see more than 230W at the socket when max power (160W for a few sec..) (using sudo tuned-adm profile hpc-compute) (and it was with a old “80 PLUS Gold” …)
If you do not use other elements it may be good for the 250W DC-HDPLEX with max power…

Did you use it headless ?

No. Both as desktop and Windows logged out as server.

Just out of curiosity, should I dare upgrade to 3.04 yet?

Same for me – Bluefin. “Booting Bluefin [IMAGE_VERSION]” stays for ~3 minutes before it proceeds.

I was actually afraid I’d have to reinstall the OS as it was not going to boot… :confused:

So be afraid, be very afraid?

Following this thread, they will release a fixed bios in 1-2 weeks. I’m still on 0.0.3.3
