Super Flower 2 Pin Power Cable?

SteWoo · 26 Mar 2015 at 09:58

I bought a Super Flower 750W PSU the other day and was a bit confused that it came with a Type F 16A 250V European 2 Pin plug? I had a spare adapter lying about so I plugged it into that but the PSU wouldn't power on. I swapped it out for my old PSU's power cable which is a standard UK plug with an IECC13 female end and it's getting power now, but how come it's not getting powered via the cable it came with??

Im in the same boat I have the 1300Watt version, I dont have an adapter, But I have a lead from my anatec 750 watt, I really dont want to pull half the furniture out to get to the end to see what fuse has in it, and that its the same, Would any decent PC power lead have the same spec plug? Yeah stewoo, its a problem, should have come ready for UK, So what would be a appropriate adapter, ie not one from a pound shop i guess?

OcUK should have supplied a UK plug along side the PSU, if you did buy from here then send CS a message.

Will do in my case then thanks, Thought it would be the responsibility of superflower as its part of the package in the sealed box. To add though that will be great if it can be sorted, Im not really happy the power going through a third party adapter.

These PSU's leave the factory with a 2pin EU plug in the box,OCUK usually send a UK kettle lead with them free of charge :/

Any kettle lead should suffice tho

yeah, iv just managed to be able to reach the plug end, thing was it was bang awkward and a job to re route a new kettle lead which would involve disconnecting, removing all monitors, a table a bed, another unit to do what i did a couple of years ago would involve an hours work just to change lead. But of course i would just grin and bear it if i have too. Turns out my 750 watt anatec, is a 250 watt also on the plug, but I need to upgrade the fuse from 10A to 16A which I can take from the superflower EU lead. Or maybe just go the whole hog and change cables completely with perhaps a replacement. Im in two minds just to do the job properly as should have a new cable. In any case just realised ill be a lead down, so wont be able to use the other power supply, so need it sorting lol.
