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.
