Using a 750W PSU, GTX 760, Intel i7 4930k.

The cord that came with my PSU is 2 feet too short. It's rated 13amps and 125v. I have another older 6 foot PSU looking cord that's rated at 10amps and 125v. Is this ok to use as an extension? Or willI possibly fry something?

Thanks

Honestly I never paid attention to which power cord I use when I am at a site repair. I have a pile of them at my helpdesk that I just grab the one that fits best.

You should be fine - I would think you only need to worry if you have a server with multiple CPUs and SAN arrays and multiple NICs or Virtual Hosting machines. (Vhosting)
