Power Plug Extensions

[marsbarsz]

Hello guys, just curious. Is it okay to buy those normal power plug extensions from value dollar stores for my rig or are there certain things which I should look out for?

I mainly need 4 points for (1) PC, (2) Monitor, (3) Speakers and (4) charging my phone

Here's a picture of the power plug extension I am referring to:

normal usage ok

but for high overclock then need to reduce as must as possible

You mean those $20+ ones or those $50+ ones? Are one using way better surge protectors than the other? How come got such a big price difference one.

I use $17.90 from Giant .... got safety mark , no surge protection

You're sure about it? The only 8 way extension cable?

I'm using Taiyo SV988 at home, also 8 way, much cheaper than the one you mentioned.

There are more than these 2 FYI.

Bought from Gaincity during promotion.

IIRC, I paid about $30, they are still selling it.

Funny its input voltage is 230V/50hz instead of 50/60hz. Although most products in sg can accept 50/60hz.

 

[commach]

230V/50hz is the typical specification for most commonwealth countries, nothing unusual. 60hz is usually on the 100/110volts power and only a few countries are using 230/240v 60hz frequency.
