Notes

Oct 3 2024: Add 40mm fan mod to stop thermal throttling RAM https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6784945. May 27 2024: Robtech found DDR5 thermal throttled, USB C PD input did not work, wifi drivers are ghetto, bluetooth range is short. May 26 2024: $620 to $560, USB4 is half bandwidth 8k 30hz instead of 8k 60hz
