System

FAQs

  • An APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) is a processor that integrates a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), and an NPU (Neural Processing Unit) in a single package.
  • For moderate workloads and gaming, choose Max 385 - 32GB. For more demanding tasks, you can choose Max+ 395 - 64GB which offer better graphics and multi-threaded CPU performance. If you are planning to run AI workloads like Large Language Models, we recommend Max+ 395 - 128GB.
  • Memory is soldered to the Mainboard in these models, which makes it impossible to upgrade it afterwards. Soldered memory is a limitation of the Ryzen™ AI Max platform, but it brings substantially increased memory throughput for higher gaming and AI performance.
  • LPDDR5x is a memory standard that enables high memory bandwidth with low power consumption.  AMD's Ryzen™ AI Max 300 Series processors use LPDDR5x memory to enable 256GB/s of throughput.  One limitation of this memory with Ryzen™ AI Max 300 Series though is that it must be soldered, which makes it non-upgradeable.

Primary Storage (M.2 2280)

FAQs

  • The amount of storage space you need depends on your use cases, but 1TB is the most popular selection. If you ever need more space in the future, you can add a secondary storage drive or upgrade your primary storage drive.
  • You can use M.2 2280-sized NVMe SSDs. We have drives from 250GB up to 8TB available in the Framework Marketplace. Either single-sided or double-sided 2280 SSDs can fit.
  • SN850X is Western Digital's top-end SSD, using NVMe Gen4 to support an incredible 7,300MB/s maximum read throughput. SN7100 is a DRAM-less SSD that uses NVMe Gen4 for up to 4,000MB/s with great power efficiency. SN8000S is an OEM (non-retail) drive similar in capability to SN850X.
  • Your Framework Desktop can operate with a single storage drive. This can be inserted into either location. If you want more storage, you can add a secondary drive.

CPU Fan

FAQs

  • You can bring your own standard 120mmx25mm fan for your Framework Desktop. If you choose the "CPU Fan Mounting Kit - 120mm (bring your own fan)" option, we will include the fan mounting kit (fan duct and 4 screws for you to install your own fan to the heatsink).  We recommend using a 12V fan capable of >100 m3/h airflow and >3mm H2O static pressure, supporting a standard 4-pin CPU fan header.
  • You need a CPU fan to dissipate the heat generated by your processor, preventing it from overheating. Without adequate cooling, your CPU will slow down and throttle substantially, potentially causing system instability. Framework Desktop is compatible with standard 120mm fans.
  • ARGB (Addressable RGB) lighting allows customization of each individual LED, offering more advanced control than standard RGB lighting, which can only display one color at a time across all LEDs. The Mainboard has a standard ARGB header and supports common ARGB control software applications.
  • Framework Desktop is compatible with 120mm fans. We have two 120mm Cooler Master fan options (customized version of Cooler Master's Mobius fans with improved start-up behavior) in the configurator operating at 2400 RPM. One of them is ARGB and the other one does not have lighting. We also have a Noctua 120mm fan (NF-A12x25 HS-PWM) operating at 2400 RPM, which does not have lighting, but provides excellent performance-to-noise efficiency and comes in Noctua's infamous brown brand colors.

The Framework Desktop supports two Expansion Cards. Expansion Cards are hot swappable; simply unlatch, slide, and click them into your Framework Desktop with no tools needed.
  • Framework Desktop has these ports in the back:
    1x HDMI - HDMI 2.1 with CEC support
    2x DisplayPort - DP 2.1 up to 10G
    2x USB-C - USB4
    1x RJ45 - 5Gbit Ethernet

  • Framework Desktop Expansion Card slots support all available Expansion Cards, except HDMI and DisplayPort. You can use the Ethernet Expansion Card and the Audio Expansion Card but we have dedicated ports in the back for those as well. If you're unsure, we suggest utilizing the front slots for additional USB-C and USB-A Expansion Cards.
