Will this Power Supply work?

ZOiD-C · Nov 16, 2015

Hello guys, I am about to build a new PC, all I need is a Power Supply. I will be running an AMD FX 8350 with an R9 390. The Power Supply in question will be linked below. I read an amazon review that said it would not work within the United States, could anybody help me with the quality and whether or not it will work in the U.S.? Thanks a lot.

Yes it will , it's one of the very few good ones that Raidmax has released.

The version on newegg works for sure.

What about the review that I read on Amazon that says that it won't work in the United States. I'm thinking that it's "bogus" but I would rather be sure. The review in question can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RRKKS0DEQ6ARZ/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00MRS4FGI&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=541966&store=pc

Input Voltage
110 - 240 V

I have know idea why they quoted that it's fine right in the newegg specs.
