I have a Radeon RX580 in slot 1, angel wings px1 with Samsung 960 EVO in slot 2, then HDX in 3 and finally UAD quad in 4. It’s been 36°C over here recently and all was good (albeit a bit warm).

Whoa!
I didn't think this was possible and have asked this on other forums. I have a 5,1 with a RX580 that uses two 6 pin to one 8 pin for power slot 1, then SSD via PCI, HDN card and BM Intensity pro and wanted to go to HDX, but after even calling AVID tech support everyone told me there's no way to power the HDX? How are you powering your HDX and RX580?
