You misunderstood me.
 
Even if we are talking 1 stock number of GPU --- the power sockets are molded and have tolerances ---- they are rigid soldered to the PCB - which has tolerances
 
So the assembled PCB with soldered sockets, has stacked tolerances --- the rigid Power Link like wise has stacked tolerances.
 
So unless they have some wiggle room in the Power Link design -- issues are bound to happen as you have two rigid ports to align on both parts
 
Sure hope the sockets in the Power Link can float - mounted in silicone or urethane and self align with out stressing the PCB and solder joints

Sorry,
I doubt that it is as complex as all that.
Seems they can just snap in wired connectors... no need for a pcb, its just a hard, shaped extension.
1070 FTW 8+8 connector, X 2.. 32 crimped pins, 16x lead wires, molded housings... cheap , easy.
 
Hell, I'll mold em, if they will let me.. crimp, assemble, QC and ship if EVGA wants.
 
Still need one for myself though.. so hurry up already EVGA..

Any idea on price on this yet?

I am sure it will not be more than a SLI HB Bridge.

Saw a video the other day:
 
Actually it is a bus bar system; which explains how they will adjust for each GPU.

You'll have to wait until it's available from the website. 

Small news from twitter: https://twitter.com/EVGA_JacobF/status/781993191708827648
at least we will get some details next week....

So looking forward to getting 4 to complete my DG-87 build!

Where have we heard that before, next week.  Beginning to sound like a contractor
