Hi.
I ordered Xfx Pro 550w power supply and it was all ok but then i found that it came with uk power cord and not with european. I bought in my country and here people are using european electricity cords. Is it going to be bad if I use power cord from the other psu.
Thank You

The EU standard is 230V, but the UK standard is 240V. 240 - 230 = 10 which means 10V lost.

 

Actually in the UK you will normally see between 236v and 238v at the wall socket but that has nothing to do with the power cord or the type of plug on the end of it.

@OP, There wiil be no difference whatsoever as regardless of what goes in (110v, 230v or 240v) only 12v comes out of a PSU.

He just wanted a proper answer. I gave him the answer that it's just 10V difference between a standard EU and a standard UK.
This won't have any effect on the performance nor the PSU.
 


A proper answer would have stated why the 10v difference doesn't matter as the OP was asking about the power cord, I don't see any mention voltage.

I won't start argumenting about a power cord or a psu. I'll show you that i'm the most mature of us and stop this debate.

 


It was an attempt to get you to give better answers to threads not "argumenting" (whatever that is) but never mind.
