Hi are the free thermal pads and the power link being shipped yet?
I requested my order for the free power link and thermal pads ages ago, but have not received any information or confirmation as to when they will be available.
Thanks.

If you are not from the states you are at the bottom of the list regardless when you made the order. Official EVGA stance on the matter is "it will be done when it's done, remember that thermal mod is optional, so it is no big deal".

I received mine last tuesday and I requested the pads on oct 24th I believe and I live less than 30 miles away. They are definitely trying i believe their best to package and ship them out as quickly as possible. Hang in there.

Received both thermal pad kit and the PowerLink last week, around 15-17 of November. Installed everything this weekend!
Interestingly, the thermal pad kit is different than preview version. E.g. Jayztwocents had one with no VRAM pads, and mine came with them. I installed all the pads, but used Prolimatech PK-3 TIM instead of the one that came in a plastic bag as part of the kit.

There was about 10 posts explaining that the vram pads were included at the request of end users. Sadly, EVGA updates tend to get overlooked.

"Thermal pads are optional" or "You may lose warranty if you install your own thermal pads" better keep your card toasted!

The resistor could have still failed with the pad.

I have not received both of them either. I requested them both a good while ago. This is the message about the powerlink:
We will send you another email with instructions to make payment
for the Shipping and Handling once your PowerLink(s) are ready to ship.
Please NOTE: Products will start shipping November 1st, 2016.
I never received the other email with instructions for a payment for the shipping, nor did I receive confirmation on thermal pads.
I have no idea what is going on or if there is anything I should do to get this ball rolling.

It took almost a week for me to receive the payment email. Make sure you look in the junk folder. Look the the thermal mod pod to see if the thermal mod shipped. Www.evga.com/thermalmod

Almost one month since I ordered my pads. That's efficient! The way all these is being handled by evga is an absolute shame.

The pads are being made. They didnt have a stock of them in a back room waiting for a situation like this.

First news I hear. I think we deserve some official feedback at least. Such a big company is not able to offer a simple estimated delivery schedule?

Thank you I see now that the pads are still on Awaiting Shipment status. No email about the PowerLink though. So I guess I'll have to wait.
