Thanks!

So now I just "upgrade" usb cables by cutting the power from the hub side, solder in 18awg wire powered from the meanwell.
and stick em in a plastic holder

So for the last few inches/cm before terminating in the female plug you are running the thinner wire? What's the max amperage you have pushed through the connectors?

yep it goes thinner as it gets to the female end. the usb cables i use are 28awg data and 24 awg power.
basic wire thickness from the power supply is ... meanwell  -> 16awg -> 18awg -> 24awg
 I have put 1.51v @ 300mhz which is about 2.8ish amps. But I am having stability issues so I don't know what i am going to run it at.
