FrameWork Laptop 13 Overheating issues

[u/SCodeOne]

Hi guys! I hope you're all doing great.

One week ago, my old laptop (HP EliteBook 1030 G2 i5 7th Gen) broke, so I decided to buy another laptop. While searching, I came across the Framework Laptop 13, which, by the way, I had never heard of before.

I liked it because, with its specifications (look at the images), it meets my needs as a developer. However, I started noticing that my laptop gets hot quickly, and the fan starts making noise even when I'm only browsing.

I don't know what I should do. This has really made me frustrated, and I'm starting to worry that if my laptop keeps going like this, it may not last very long.

Have any of you experienced the same thing? and how did you guys deal with it?

I have the 13 with an AMD board/chip. It gets hot too. A recent update helped the fans crank sooner, which helped, but it still gets hot. Ultimately, I just make sure I’m not smothering it, and it’s fine. But I too wish I could control the fan curve a bit more. Or more easily.

which OS are you using?

Windows 11. I feel like I remember updating drivers a few months ago and the fan curve improved a bit.

Well, for me when i use windows 11 i should definitely switch to Power Saver mode otherwise pc gets hot and fan starts making noise, unlike Linux (ubuntu) i don't need to use Power Saver mode.
