Damn that's weird but great that you tested and found out. This has to be related to the USB you use, right? Tried different USB attachments?

I've never had that with 5 USB peripherals to date as I mentioned, I've always ran 5 daily. They do increase MB powered draw though.

It's not necessarily the number of power phases you know, but actually depends on the quality of MOSFETs they decide to use as well as PSU and temps
