Just in case it matters:
ASRock A520M-HDV motherboard
AMD Ryzen5 5500GT CPU
Xilence XN054 700 W PSU

IMHO theoretical power is more than enough. Is there a way to check
for actual performance other than multimeter and check the voltage?
And then I would think that removing 50pin cables from 6i24 board
should help as 7i33 and 7i44 do not draw extra power.
Hmm could it be that the pci-e slot is the bottleneck? Is there any
other means to provide the power to 6i24 board?
