It might be better to just go back to the drawing board on that one if even possible-
Scrap the board as is, go for Strix Halo but give it a big fat 150w PPT, give it 4x DDR5 slots instead of soldered LPDDR5X.
Don’t sell it with RAM or an SSD.

That’s not going to decrease the cost, as Strix Halo is expensive. See: the Framework desktop.
And it needs LPDDR5X, though they could use SOCAMM modules. Framework tried, but I think they ran out of R&D time to work out the electrical gremlins.

Holy fuck. It’s happening.

At this point, try closer to $1200-$1500, and that’s for the BASE model.

Might as well buy steam cookers instead.
