@DJGummikuh@pixelfed.de interesting discovery: One of the Screws attaching the mainboard to the chassis appears to be missing, Position 3/6 @frameworkcomputer
I am very certain I did not loose it, as this is the first time ever I'm digging this deep into my #Framework16, could this be cause for anything?
ok so today I will replace the liquid metal cooling of my #framework16 with a PTM7958 Thermal Pad cooling. The bad thing: the guide on how to do this has THIRTHY-NINE STEPS to install the thing on the photo
The good thing: There IS a guide and only a single tool required to perform it. Still love the concept, even though I have performance issues (which hopefully should be partially solved with this *free* upgrade)
@craige @AlexanderMars @ErickaSimone @GrapheneOS I concur. I've had good experiences with #GrapheneOS on Pixel devices for five years and just moved from a #System76 #OryxPro running Pop!_OS to a #FrameWork16 running #NixOS.
Though have had trouble with coverting the System76 laptop to NixOS due to fan drivers always running the fan at 100%, which is unacceptable for a server.
Are Here #framework users which can recommend dockingstations which allow you to start a #framework16 laptop by pushing a button on the dockingstation? #frameworklaptop
Or can @frameworkcomputer directly recommend one?
@annaaurora @iFixit Huh. I haven't even noticed the fans on the #Framework16. How long ago did you compare the #Framework13 with your #thinkpad?
It's a fair point @annaaurora
For me though, having the flexibility of moving ports around outweighs the limitation of six ports (on #Framework16). I tend to use a docking station when the laptop is on my desk, so port count is even less of an issue there.
@gary_alderson the @frameworkcomputer / #Framework16 has a x8 Link for the optional #GPU / Dual-#NVMe module, and in theory you could design like a #NIC-Module with dual-#SFP28 module slots...
Giving #SwayWM a try on my #Framework16 running #HardenedBSD 14-STABLE.
So today I can't seem to be able to reproduce the issue at all?
I opened it up anyways and inspected the fan but there was nothing obviously wrong with it. Gave it a quick blow and closed it back up.
All of which was super easy to do both ways; great design @frameworkcomputer!
PSA for #framework16 users: You do not need to unscrew the 16 input plate screws to get at the back connector. Just remove the cover, unscrew and remove the board connector and then loosen the two screws beneath that.
So I was downloading something on my #framework16 and suddenly it sounded like a fan was spinning up but it didn't sound like a case fan at all but rather super high-pitched.
It died down rather quickly again.
It just did it again. Wtf. Has anybody encountered this before?
Hm, on closer inspection it appears to be coming from the left case fan?
It sounds like a drone propeller but it's not as "clean"; there's a sort of digital sound to it.
Spooky.
Hi, ich habe am Freitag meinen #thinkpad_x230 durch einen #FrameWork16 ersetzt. Um Geld zu sparen, habe ich mir RAM selbst gekauft; eine 1TB-SSD hatte ich noch "herumliegen".
Der Zusammenbau war denkbar einfach: es gibt eine Anleitung inkl. kurzer Videos. Aber eigentlich war es ziemlich selbsterklärend. Die Schrauben sind nummeriert!
(1/2)
Hat ein wenig gedauert, aber vielleicht hilft es Dir ja noch. Es ist ein #FrameWork16 mit Ryzen 7 unter #Debian und #xfce inkl. Radeon-Graphikkarte.
Looking for an USB-C #dockingstation, which works with my #framework16 Laptop, running Debian. Need Ethernet-Port and DisplayPort, Cardreader would be nice, Powersupply not necessary.
Can you share your experience?
Suche eine USB-C_Dockingstation für meinen Framework 16 mit Debian. Notwendig ist LAN und DisplayPort, nett ein Kartenleser, nicht nötig die Stromversorgung. Wer hat Erfahrung?
Please retröt.
Anyone here who uses the #Framework16 laptop? Do you recommend it as a work laptop? Are there any downsides? How's Linux on that thing?
Puh, erster Linux-Rechner (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ... bin mal sehr gespannt.
Und das Num-Pad habe ich links angesteckt)
(Das alte Surface Pro gibt es als Backup).
Is there anyone here with a #Framework16 running linux that can run my thermal performance benchmark script from https://www.djgummikuh.de/2025/01/05/cpu-performance-tests/ and send me the results? I'd like to know if I am maybe chasing a rabbit here and the difference in thermal performance of the cores stems from the positioning of the thermal probe...
Edit: Would have to be the Ryzen 7 7840HS variant for it to be comparable
Just rediscovered Zero-K, a #FOSS #RTS Game in the spirit of Total Annihilation (building style), Supreme Commander (Graphics) and Galactic Annihilation (Singleplayer Campaign). It's feeling quite nice, however it lags like shit on my #framework16 
http://zero-k.info/
I tested this and it's quite easy to reproduce:
The #FW16 laptop wakes up whenever the power is plugged or unplugged.
Say you had it plugged in, suspended and with the lid closed. If you then plugged it out to take it with you, it'll turn itself on despite the lid being closed and you probably wouldn't notice.
Same with plugging it in while the lid is closed but that isn't quite as bad as the battery would at least be charging then. (Still not ideal as the trapped heat could damage the display.)
Quite a simple causal link and easy to avoid if you know about it but nasty if you don't.
Could this be changed @frameworkcomputer? A laptop should never under any condition turn itself on while the lid is closed.
It should arguably not even turn itself on when the lid is open but that's not nearly as bad as you'd at least notice that it did this by the display and power indicator turning on. You'd also ordinarily close the lid to transport the latpop which should cause the OS to suspend it again; preventing you finding a hot and empty laptop in your bag when you arrive.
There's no such excuse when the lid is closed though.
So geil ich mein #Framework16 finde, so sehr ist dieser Laptop eine Tortur für Menschen mit Armhaaren. Ich hab aufgehört zu zählen, wie viele Armhaare ich schon an die Spacer neben dem Touchpad verloren habe 
I now am a proud #Framework user.
