Thanks!

.... [When the GTX 1080s are available]

If I have an 8+6 pin Graphics card, am I forced to use an 8+6 pin input on the PowerLink?  Or can I use an 8+8 pin input from my PSU, and use the PowerLink as an adapter to the 8+6 pin graphics card?

Welcome to the Forums, ThetaZero

I just requested my free Power Link. Thanks Evga.        

My as qualified listed card (1080FE) is later at the powerlink amount selection not longer listed as qualified! :(

I bought my EVGA GTX 1080 FTW DT on Newegg, do I qualify for this?

Yes, but you will be required to upload your invoice, since it wasn't purchased directly through the Evga store.

I don't see anywhere in the REQUEST YOUR EVGA POWERLINK™ page that let me upload the invoice, any advice? 

You make an account at http://www.evga.com/myevga/ and register your EVGA products. This is essential for the RMA process anyways(edit: if needeed)....once you fill out your information and submit a copy of your invoice, they have everything they need

Wait... so looking at the supported "PCI-E configurations" you can't do 6-Pin + 6-Pin? Well that makes no sense...
Well looking at the design these appear to only work for the 10XX series. Bummer, would love to get a couple for my 970's...

You should be able to do 6 pin+ 6pin, it's shown in a number of the screenshots, just not listed in the pic of possible combos
 
one question I have is, what type of screwdriver bit is needed to unscrew the PCIe connectors to change them out, and what types/spacing are installed by default?
 
I get the feeling I may need to find my precision screwdriver set again, it's around these forums (or my house) somewhere.

woah, very nice gesture by EVGA.
 
i'd definitelly buy evga again!

Cant wait to get them approval emmmm hope so ,

Do you change the input to match your card as well?

I requested 2 by accident because my RMA card is on my account still. Can I change it to 1? I don't want to get my whole request declined.
 
Update: Support replied back to me. They said it will automatically be changed from 2 to 1.

Wrote to customer support about not being able to order the PowerLink though the EVGA website (I have a registered 1070 FTW) and got this response instead:
 
Unfortunately, this is a promotion that NVIDIA is running and EVGA has no codes to give. This is something that is not within our control and you would need to contact the place of purchase for your request on this promotion. I apologize for any inconvenience.

Weird, I even put "EVGA PowerLink" on the subject line of the email....
 
 
 

Saw that my original post was on the general product page so x-posting it here.
 
Was really hoping this would provide some much needed additional clearance for the height of some of the taller cards (i.e. FTW/Classy etc.) But looking at the pictures, and the one below in particular, it doesn't seem that will be the case . I originally thought the "bar" width would be the only offset, but clearly you still have the full original connector and THEN the width of this Power Link.
 
What I am really wanting is a 1070 FTW for my Air240 build and it looks like I will still just need to go with low profile "90deg" connectors to keep the wiring from pressing up hard against the window. Or go with a different likely reference based card (Gaming, SC or FE).
