Power adapter plug

[nexusRAGER]

So i mixed up my power supply one and my monitor one, both can plug into the power supply.

Unsure which one is the correct one now

Does anyone have a superflower leadex powersupply can take picture of their plug?

Thanks

Your boss mixed up the two envelope of 5k SGD salary for you and your co-worker, you end up with her 5k and she took your 5k, does it make any different?

haha cause one is 10A and another is 13A

None of your single equipment ever need 10a. If you are paranoid, connect the monitor using the 10a and 13a to the PC.

Both are overkill on different magnitude. 10a give you approximately 2300w, which of your setup need a massive 2300w to run?

I connect both my PC and monitor to a single 10A power cable

PC even if u OC and SLI gao gao wun exceed 800W. Monitor about 1-2W at most.

P=VI, I at most ard 4A nia

I understand your concerns. My previous power supply has a 10A fuse but when I change to my current one, it had changed to 13A. There must be a reason that the fuse needs to be higher on some Power Supplies.

Anyway, if yours is a 550W PSU, shouldn't it be 10A instead?
But just to be safe, 13A for PSU and 10A for monitor. Monitors don't need that much current passing through. PCs tend to use more than just a piece of screen.

yea the 13A works have been using it. But my computer is having issue that is causing it to reboot, just trying to find any way to fix it. So i suspect there is a chance it might be the plug

Be cautious to use 13a fused without the actual need for it.

There are reason why many PSUs comes with default 4.5a fused cable and not 13a fused. If simply changing the fuse to 13a to solve power issues, why not manufacturer use a solid copper bar or continuous copper without the need for fuse?

Manufacturer produce 0.25a, 0.5a, 1.25a, 2a, 2.5a, 3.15a fuse etc... with sound and valid reasons.

Only UK standard countries use fused cables...

There are many countries in the world using Type G fused plug. The resort I stayed in Mauritius installed with type G socket, my friend went to Saudi Arabia and he can use the type G plug in some places too.

Are these countries in UK?

Google will tell you which countries are using type G socket.
