Yeah, just offering to cram high-end parts on a bog standard B850 mobo in a boring case is not going to win any awards. Of course, 99% of the time we're better off building it ourselves, since OEMs tend to treat cooling like an afterthought.

If they used a LR-LINK LRSV9500-4I to get two RTX 6000 Pro Blackwell cards talking to each other at PCIe 5.0 x16 speeds on an AM5 system, then they'd get some attention.

Any AM5 mainstream B850 motherboard supports up to 256 GB RAM. And this is not even quad-channel either, but dual-channel/2*64-bit/128-bit, just like the midrange B850 is:

Max. Memory 256 GB
System Memory Subtype UDIMM

The 96 GB VRAM consisting of a single GPU, instead of 2 * 48GB VRAM GPUs, is good, on the other hand. Especially the option to be able to choose the 300W Max-Q variant. But why not offer the option of being able to choose 2 RTX 6000 PRO Max-Qs, that would make the system/offering at least somewhat special.
