AC Power Cord problem

L

Hello,

I just upgraded to the Corsair CX600 V2 PSU for GTX 560 Ti.

The A/C power cord that came with it is really weird. I've APC 800W UPS and there's no power socket there which would accommodate this really huge 13 Amps A/C cable.

I had a 10 Amps VIP Gold power cable which I'm using now. This cable is thinner than the Corsair one.

What do I do? Can't replace the UPS or PSU of course. Are there any pin converters available in the market? What are they called? Are they available to online?

I've a feeling that the PSU would be of no use if it gets 3 amperes less than what it demands.

Thank you.

13 A? That could burn some things :lol:

. That looks like a normal 6A tolerance cable. What does the fuse say? It must read something less insane. :lol:

Anyway, you can get a socket adapter at the neighbourhood electrical store for something like Rs. 30-50 for these kind of pins. It is called a universal socket adapter or something. It is designed to accommodate any country's pins and fit properly in the Indian wall outlet. Show the shopkeeper this cable as you go out to buy, and that should do.

That should solve all the issues. Nevermind the 13A.

The fuse say 13A. That's what worries me.

basically that means it can take upto 13A...after that u will see a small Chernobyl in your room

Okay. So I'm just fine using this old power cord. Thanks everyone.

well, bro just get another power chord from the nearest computer hardware store and or if you want to buy a power strip then buy one..

All power cords are basically same in terms of Psu..no
Amp rating based issues are caused...only quality and durability of cables varies.
Anyways thats the max current tolerance rating of cord marked on cord plug.

Yeah, it won't make a difference. In case there's any high current flowing it would be cut down first by the spike buster strip itself and then the UPS is on the line, and even then if magic happens and the the current passes through thin air

lol

, the PSU will have its own fuse and protective circuitry.

If even then the whole deal is through, then the pieces inside the box are in hazard.

^^ LOL.. Well, current unless it is a fluctuation, is drew according to the system requirement, whatever your system demands, the current will be able to fulfill that, I don'et think there is a need to worry

I get similar cord with my Corsair CX430v2 PSU you can't plug those I am using old cord that I was using.

I am using this type of converter with stock cord given with my Corsair GS700.See the pics below.Good quality converter will cost around 60 rupees.

What Tenida showed is the best and cheapest option. Safe too.
