Been sent a PSU with a US cable, can I use a socket adapter?

Long story short RMAed a PSU, it's been replaced with a 1600w SuperFlower Gold but the UK cable hasn't been sent so I have a US cable, can I until the UK cable turns up just use one of those US to UK adapters that you plug in or do I need to wait for the cable to turn up?

Thanks

This is the cable from the power socket to the PSU? Just use a UK cable. They're just standard C13 (kettle) leads. Just make sure it's rated for 13A.

Sadly not guys, the power cable is a c19 plug, I can't find any online near me that I can go in and buy so it was going to be an adapter that I put the 2 pins in that convert it to the 3 pin. This is the PSU https://www.overclockers.co.uk/supe...0-plus-gold-power-supply-black-ca-032-sf.html

Yea' OcUK are sending me a new cable which will be here tomorrow. I've just spent nearly 2 weeks RMAing things and got sent this PSU so need to test things ASAP as tomorrow marks my 14 days return window so I need to get things tested ASAP.
