Buying PSUs from the US

wheeliehok · Oct 19, 2013

Hey guys im considering buying a Corsair 760W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply from Amazon because its a lot cheaper than buying it from local stores (I live in Australia).
Im just wondering if there is any problems associated with using a part from the US ?

don't you guys have a funky plug socket there? that would be the only issue I could see other then shipping.

Ahh yeah. But there are adapters for US plugs. I think that's more worth it. It costs about $95 more locally...

So there should be no issues with the voltages and stuff?

as long as its 120 ac ..

Corsair AX860 AC INPUT: 100V - 240V • 11A - 5.5A • 50Hz - 60Hz

Voltage-wise you'll have no problem.

You'll just need to provide your own AC power cord because the included power cord will be for North American residential power.

Don't use an adapter. Buy the correct power cable.

Doesn't the cost of shipping make up the savings on the actual product?
