@coreforge@furry.engineer you have plenty of current available on a CPU socket on an AM4 platform to give you whatever you need to boost up to the voltage of a pi, it's a little bit wasteful but you know whatever. Considering it's designed to handle CPUs that draw over 100 watts in some cases, it's probably fine you just have to trigger the CPU power pins to get that 1.3ish volts that the CPU core normally uses and boost from that.
