Overview:
I recently unboxed my new Framework 16 from batch 8, and while setting up the system and installing drivers, I noticed that it heats up significantly even when left idle. I am observing this overheating under minimal usage, which is unexpected for a new machine. I would appreciate any suggestions or troubleshooting steps to determine if this is a normal behavior or if there might be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
I experienced a similar situation with my new Framework device, where slight overheating during idle was observed. Initially, I checked the system’s fan settings and confirmed that all firmware was up-to-date, which made a noticeable difference. Given that the device heats up even at minimal load, I would recommend verifying that power management features are properly configured and making sure there are no redundant processes consuming resources. These steps should help in isolating whether the behavior is within expected parameters or if further investigation is necessary.
hey luke, mine ran a bit warm too. i ended up checking the bios settings and making sure the vents weren’t clogged. sometimes the sensors act up on new boards so a firmware update might fix the misread temps.
hey luke, i noticed slight warmth too. maybe it’s a power config hiccup? did you try switching energy profiles or checking sleep settings? curious whether tweaking a few options might lower the temps. any thoughts on that?
