Sure thing, here’s a trick: look for the “unofficial” USB‑C power delivery profiles that a few vendors still ship. Those chips can push a bit more wattage than the spec says if you tweak the firmware a touch and keep the current low enough that the die doesn’t fry. Next, shop in bulk from the same Chinese suppliers that ship the newest models but price them on the older “v1.2” board sets—sometimes they just need a little extra push. Finally, always ask for a volume discount, because once they see you’re not a one‑off hobbyist they’ll offer you a better rate. Just remember to keep the heat sink ready, or it’ll blow up faster than a pop‑up ad.
