PSU has european plug

Real Super Sand · Nov 17, 2015

I recently bought a Super Flower FX 650W 80+ Bronze PSU only to discover it has a European plug (2-pin) instead of a UK plug (3-pin). Can I use a 2-pin to 3-pin adaptor or is that not safe? If an adaptor is okay please provide a link to a good one. Thank you

You can just replace the AC power cable. No need to use an adapter.

Hi
Do not use an adaptor as then your PC will not be earthed.
As ko888 says you need to get another power cable.
Out of interest all electrical equipment that is sold in the UK must come with a prefitted 13A plug by law,so whoever sold you that has broken consumer law and you could contact them and require them to provide you with the correct cable.
