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:
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
But that's not necessarily true. It depends heavily on the motherboard chipset you have. Sometimes, these chipsets are used to artificially limit the true capacity on consumer-grade devices.
Can confirm. Happened to me with my old laptop. Tried to upgrade it with some rescued RAM and it refused to use all of it. It would only use up to the laptops advertised max.
(Not the brand in question, but motherboards can definitely limit the RAM utilisation)
The RAM goes up to 64GB (2x32GB) for both Framework 13 and 16.
Even 96 works but not officially
