Okay, thanks for the update, another question is when you have it powered off do you still have power going into the board, or do you kill the power at the PSU?

So those who registered for the free 75 have started receiving theirs?  I was one of those people and have not received mine yet.

Is there a way to tell your one has been sent or do they just turn up at your door without warning?

No switch on the power supply...

Got power boost in a few days ago. Installed in a 758 in the 1x slot. Running a GTX 580 and GTX 295. ......

Have you turned off your computer for any length of time since you have installed it?

I purchased mine. From what I've seen around the forums, to those who did register for the free supply, they said they just arrived with no warning.  At least a few reports have said that.

 
thanks
 
I guess mine might take a little longer to get to Europe.
 
Does anyone know if the 4G T-Shirts were sent yet?  I won one but have not received it yet
 
EDIT Both these issues have been dealt with by Joe, T-Shirt and powerboost on the way.  Thanks.

Just installed mine and ran Heaven Benchmark on the highest settings available and also did some gaming.
Before install ~ 12v would drop to 11.89
After install ~ 12v drops to 12.04
At idle it used to sit at 12.11 and now it sits at 12.18
Happy with the results!!

It will not go on a PCI, but it will fit under a dual card in the slot not being used if you have one of those.

Like KMoore said I have it under one of my 580's and it fit no problem. My 12v doesn't fluctuate anymore either.

I think if EVGA has a say so in how long the leads are for this connector it should be like 12 inches or so. I am not complaining. I think it's great that we have the option to install this thing. It would just make it alot easier to keep things neat and tidy for airflow and looks if it were longer. I think I might replace the wires with longer ones. If anyone does this besides me (and i am sure it has already been done :)) please make sure the wire you use is the correct gauge.

I'd like one of these for a Tri-SLI 580 setup on a E760 but it seems evga hasn't had some for some time?

I can't believe it would be much longer now. It doesn't take much to produce these and your right it has been a while since they were in stock. Hang in there a "little" while longer. I bet they have them by the end of next week. You might want two of them with triple sli. Just a thought.

Come on eVGA, lots of people want this thing! You need to make more! I just ordered one even though it's out of stock. I already melted the 24-pin plug on one power supply, so I need this fix. I'll just have to run a single video card until eVGA decides to make more of these. Sad really...
