hey guys, thank you for taking the time, I am running ubuntu 18.04 on a gygabite Z170-HD3 DDR3, cpu is a intel core i3-6100 3,7GHz, OS is on a ssd

psu is a corsair CS550M, nothing connected to the mobo, it's a remote machine, just the ethernet cable, the r606 and the gekko hub

only thing I had to leave connected is the hdmi cable plugged into the mobo and the screen (monitor has no power whatsoever) because for some reason without I couldn't share its screen (all black)

for the gekko I tried different usb ports, 2.0 and 3.0, shared and not, even without the terminus, same thing, the r606 seem to not mind which port is running onto

I tried the newpacs one by one and singularly they all run great, also in pairs, trouble starts when I run a new instance for one of the other two (one or both)

I also tried to connect them all to the gekko hub and run them one at the time using their serial numbers (--gekko-serial), they all are fine until I start the third and/or forth, doesn't matter which one

anyway I can test the bus / traffic lanes of the motherboard not being able to keep up as you suggested ?

here is the pc:
