I have now used a Framework Laptop 16 with working GPU fans.

In our big hands-on with the modular gaming laptop, the laptop’s swappable GPU throttled itself due to a broken fan connector. But today, I visited Framework HQ and spent 15 minutes in Cyberpunk 2077 and Halo Infinite on high spec with no throttling at all. And yes, I swapped that GPU in and out of the laptop myself.

Framework says it still needs to add fan curves: they ran full bore during my demo.
