Need PSU advice

[NotBlakJack]

Help me out, HWZ. I bought a EVGA G2 750w PSU on amazon, but i forgot about the socket type. I have an adapter at home, but will the PSU still work properly? Is there a shop somewhere that sells PSU cables for EVGA?

Do you mean socket type as the power plug used? You should be able to get them for $5-6 at sls. The adaptor should work fine

As long as you have 110-240v stated (or something similar) on the PSU rating, you can use a simple adapter.

Can use back old one, if not brunt and fuse is working fine.

Are you referring to the AC input? It's stated as being 100-240 VAC on the product website.

This is my 1st PSU, so no old cables lying around =(

I bought the exact same model psu from amazon and all i did was to plug in the existing cable to that psu

Did the PSU come with a power plug that's compatible with local wall sockets?

I believe Muddle meant was that he used the power cord from an existing psu (presumbly dead or not using) and plug into the new one.

If u buy from amazon, u will get US 2-pin plug.

Go to neighbourhood electrical shop and buy one will do.

Just change the cable can liao. Evga PSUs are voltage compatible

Maybe you should have bought this PSU , think is cheapest for 750W selling S$129 only locally and comes with 5 years warranty.

Just cut off the US socket and re-wire with standard 3-pin socket. It will only take a few minutes.

Lol, so troublesome. Just head over to SLT and purchase a 1.5m UK plug for $4?

 

[wacko]

regular power cord from SLS will do, but do take note before future purchases of PSUs on Amazon, not all power cord sockets on PSUs are the same. Below are 2 examples from EVGA (1st one being the one that you bought).

I bought some previously. Quite poor quality. The power cable that came with the PSU should be better quality. Anyway, this will probably not make a difference to most guys so whatever.
