Found a used EKPM3 module from an identical F01 for $50 shipped, I grabbed it and will throw it in for the hell of it. I am certainly leaning towards this module with the reading I've done, and yeah I am throwing parts at it..but I'll at least have one laying around if it isn't the issue.
I decided to also throw my amp clamp to see how much it's drawing when cold versus hot. I found a post stating it should be 7-12 amps, so we will see what mine is.
Also found many posts recommending additional cooling on the EKPM, whether that's an accessory fan or an external passive heatsink. I don't think this is a half bad idea, I think I will add a nice stock Intel cooler LMAO!
