Received mine today and want to thank EVGA for this product. I got it for $9.99 shipping a few months after my 1070 FTW. On a personal note, I really like EVGA as a company, both in products and in their unmatched support. Forever a loyal customer.
As for the Powerlink:
Great idea for those that aim for a case with certain neat wire aesthetics, or a slim width case where space is an issue. Got the Powelink today and as always, exceptional EVGA packaging. The link itself seems rather cheap, with parts that feel a bit flimsy. The two power plugs that go into the video card are held in place by four incredibly tiny black Allen wrench screws. Included in the packaging are two extra screws and a tiny Allen wrench. The screws hold the power adapter 8+8 (or 8+6) dual plugs into the L shaped powerlink. This is a SUPER pain in the ass to setup and they have to be slid into the proper alignment then screwed tight. The miniature screw can come all the way out and get lost real fast in your case (experienced it).
The big issue I had was getting the Powerlink off. I thought it would snap off easy, but surprisingly you have to undo ALL four screws, unattach the power plugs, and pinch them to get them off. Part two of super pain in the ass.
I am someone who tinkers and often unplugs parts in my computer and in the end this trouble just seemed to much to deal with more than once. I ended up not using the Powerlink and went back to using the cards power plugs.
For the $9.99 I paid (shipping), I am ok with that. I am not sure what the price of this product is, or will be, but anything more than $10 (shipping included) is just not worth it in my opinion.
