When I bought my EVGA FTW 1080, friends asked me why I switched to EVGA. I told them with graphic cards hitting the price levels of Pascal,  I thought it wise to purchase from the Nvidia partner with the best customer service reputation in the business. I showed them the details of an EVGA tech support chat I had when I was getting my OSD display working. Great knowledgeable, helpful people. Now we have this free offer. Yep, my friends get it now.
 
On the purchase of an EVGA pascal card, the friends are now saying good research, wise choice, smart guy. Thanks for that and the Power Link, EVGA.

Why don't you just build the card with the plugs oriented towards the end to start with?

Hey Guys, does this only work with 10 series or 9 series cards as well? Thanks in advance !

 
I put a request in, but my 2nd faulty 1080 FTW Hybrid is on the way back now and I've requested a refund instead of trying a 3rd time. Heard nothing further from EVGA about the Powerlink so I presume it's been denied. I wonder if the Powerlink will work on the Titan X Pascal?

When I built my new machine, I mentioned that to my woman. I said with all the emphasis enthusiasts place on looks and cable management, I wonder why they still put the power ports in the front..... These power links will work great but be nice to put them at the backend as you mention from the get go.....

Talk about a pain in the rear... Let me get this right, putting the connectors on the back of the card, right? I can see so many people installing their card, screwing in the screws, and then realizing they didn't connect the PCI connectors. Now they have to unscrew the screws, take out the card, and repeat the process. Now, it could be possible to do all that without taking the card out, but there would be some difficulties in doing it that way. The other problem is that this would cause the risk of the connectors hitting the back of the case, not to mention hitting the motherboard as well, so custom cases would possibly be required. Not everybody is into that luxury. It's not feasible to put it on the back compared to the front. The side no doubt, but not the rear of the card.

Hi,
 
I had a gtx 1070 and I used it to request the free power link, however I just stepped up to a gtx 1080 and sent the 1070 back to evga. If I unregister the 1070 will that mess up my request for the free powerlink?

To any of our German customers getting an error on the DE.EVGA.com promotion page, I would like to apologize for the inconvenience and let you know that this has now been fixed. You should now be able to request your Power Link. 

Not sure if it's the same issue, but I get a 'request cannot be served due to error 17 on the host eu.evga.com' message on hitting the request button. I'm in the UK. Cheers for any help. 

Same error for mee too!!
 
I hope i'm in time to get mine!!!

Any progress on this front? I'm still unable to make the request due to this error.

What are you talking about? I don't think anyone is suggesting placing power connectors that are facing the motherboard.
