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.

I like my powerlink which i got earlier this week. Makes it a lot easier to route cables. I don't see a reason to remove it once it is on unless you need to clean the heatsink but even then it isn't an issue.

Do you mean removing it off the card? If so just need to squeeze the two rubber parts to remove.

Got it I see how the One Side is a little Different than the other Side.
Thanks EVGA_JacobF  That makes it so much Easer.

$29.99 + $9.99 for shipping seems like an excessive amount for something tomjulio describes as cheap and flimsy.  Think I'll pass for now.

It wasn't all that hard for me. I just loosened both sides, slid them over to fit my connectors, tightened in place once inserted. I didn't even pull the card out of the system. Just inserted the Allen wrench in from the bottom by feel.

The 970 SC I have would not work, the connectors are too far back. I wish they'd release a special extended version for these cards. As it is, I had to string the 970s power cables behind the powerlink to keep them out of the way.

Holy Crap!!! That thing is 29.99?!?!?!?!!? QQ  WOOOOWWWWW!!!  Yeah, that's excessive.

evga are being idiots and using UPS shipping. ups ground costs $12.01 and USPS costs $6.45(flat rate envelope) or $6.80(small flat rate box).
I'd have rather they shipped parcel post for $3.02 then use UPS shipping.

They are using USPS $14.99 for Two in Bubble Envelopes tapped together.
Maybe they will refund half back to my account. My Local USPS said shipping with $60 insurance would be $7.48.
But then you have to add the cost of packing and preparing the shipments.

$29.99 is too much for this, I'll pass. $11.99 would tempt me.

Agreed. Its 2 gpu power plugs in a plastic mold.... I could make that and have natemandoo or gonecruising cut me out a fancy mold even and make the same thing for cheaper, lol. Ive had a alt idea that I want to implement for gpus for the wiring but Im not sure how I want to execute it yet. It would be pretty cool in the end though.


 

does anyone know if the powerlink fits on the 1080 ti kingpin?

sorry to necro
