Does my Cooler master 600 W SMPS need grounding ?

Hi guys - Just want to ask a question about my PSU/SMPS.

I have Cooler master extreme 600W - PCAR PSU.

The thing that irritates me now and then is that the power cable that came with it did NOT have an earthing or grounding PIN in it.
It was just having 2 pins - the +ive and the -ive pins.

SO do i change my power cable having 3 pin socket or continue using the original cable having 2 pins ????

IS there any harm with 2 pin cable ?

PLZ reply as soon as possible!

i dunno how it came to....but its ESSENTIAL to use a grounded connector for as vital as a component as an smps.
get it ASAP....and dont compute in the meanwhile...u cud b putting ur components...hell...evn ur life at risk...

My CM 600W PSU has the same problem, the power cable supplied had no earthing Cable, so i used my old unused Power Cable, which is working fine.

k thx

get proper grounding ASAP bro!
u have a system to save!!!

damn even i bought a Cooler Master 500W Extreme Power Plus yesterday and it didn't have earth(grounding) pin. that irritated me a lot as well coz the thing costed a lot and now they dont even provide a proper cable with it. seems i have to stick back to old psu's cable. but will the local psu cable fit cooler master psu's backside point?
