@ talktoanil
You can use a standard indian cord instead or buy an indian converter pin and use the cord that came with your psu. :smile:

The above belkin board will work fine with your current psu cord.

You can buy a 110v to 220v connector or whatever it is called, not a problem at all

Well, usually spikeguards take both American and Indian type plugs.

N

so if i use that with Belkin spike guard linked in my above post , will it be an issue ?

ok..now 1 more question....

the PSU fan should be facing downwards on filter grid of my CM 430 or upwards which has lower mount PSU system?

CM 430 is a bottom mounted PSU Case, so ur PSU's fan must face upwards when u install it at the bottom of ur case.

Nope. But would recommend a universal converter/adapter. I am using one too.

The fan will face downwards. See:

Anil, will tell you the simplest thing to do. I did this and it worked quite fine.

Take that cord, and show it at ANY electrical shop. He will pull out a adapter. Note this is not converter so voltages remain same.

Simple. No use for belkin strips and all.

^^ Avoid this. Many "rabbits" pull out unknown adapters from unknown hats

^^Much better doing this.

If I might put this simply, for 30 bucks,get an MX converter....that did the job for me.

Many PSUs have this plug these days. Even my CM GX550 came with it. The simplest solution is to use an adapter like in the first pic by pulkit.

Wrong section. Thread moved to Hardware Q&A. This is a buying advice section as mentioned in the description. So queries like yours will go to Hardware Q&A. (you've already bought what you wanted.)

better not get those el-cheapo adapters. Get the Belkin connector or something similar. Brands like Cona and Anchor too sell good quality multipoint connectors. Do take the cable to the shop and test before buying (make sure it fits)
