Psu uk adapter plug

CONSOLE_BUTCHER · 19 Jan 2018 at 15:17

bought an aerocool rgb psu and found that it has a European plug, can anyone tell me what would be the best adapter to use?

The psu is a 750w plat.

I take it that it has a kettle type plug on the PSU end so any UK kettle /psu lead should do

i have read that thats ok to do on google, what about the longevity of the cable? I know psu manufacturer’ say to only use the one provided , does that have any effect on the power delivery or stability?

It'll be fine. They just say that to cover their backs if your house burns down. Nah, not our fault, it was the cable.

I'd much rather use a different cable than a plug adapter.

Standard PSU cable... AKA... kettle plug*

*it's not actually a kettle plug, but that is what everyone calls them.

*kettles can easily pull 2kw. My clothes iron is 3.1kw.

Hehe

lead would be a more accurate description, but we digress.
