for anyone who wants to offer actual advice: its a lenovo thinkpad t450 with a soldered i5-5300U that hits over 90C when running cargo compiles. I have changed the thermal paste and it didn’t do much.
Framework 13 is unfortunately not a workstation replacement. Framework 16 is, with options for the 7040HS CPU, but they’re:
- not available as second-hand
- too expensive
- RAM is limited only to 32GB
agreed that those machines can be expensive but all framework models can absolutely have 64 GB of RAM
source : me, the fw13 that I use as a server and my fw16 both have 64 GB (I love those machines)
Just found out that each slot can unofficially support up to 48GB at max.
Each slot supports as much as you can fit there, i have netbook with single ddr3 slot, it was said that this slot is limited to 2gb, i fitted 8gb and it ran just fine
