New EVGA PowerLink adapter

Spotted a very clever new video card power cable adapter product on the EVGA web site that could offer the potential to clean up the unsightly large pigtails of PCIE power cables leading off of many current EVGA and NVidia video cards.

Essentially, the new EVGA PowerLink adapter can re-route the video card PCIE 8 pin or 6 pin power sockets from the video cards front corner to the cards side near the base of the card.   The adapter attaches to the two PCIE power ports, and is L shaped , relocating the PCIE power ports down closer to the motherboard.   This allows for a very short visible PCIE power cable run before your cables duck behind the mobo tray.   There is a list of known compatible EVGA and NVidia video cards on the product web page, but it also makes it clear that the product is adjustable, and could fit a great many other NVidia video cards.

One possibility is that the PowerLink adapter could improve airflow in your case by eliminating those long pigtails of PCIE wiring...especially with SLI / NVLink users with multiple video cards.   Another possible benefit I can see could be to improve weight balance a bit on the motherboard PCIE video card socket....Very cool!

Be a less expensive and cleaner cable management option for only around $20 for each video card adapter you use.   

Make sure it fits.  My cards barely clear the reservoir. That makes them longer.

Hey HockeyBuck. I just installed the EVGA Powerlink on my new 2080 FTW3 Ultra in the Lumos case. I do like the fact that it cleans up the front power pigtales and takes some of the weight off the outer edge of this beast of a vid card.
