HELP please, psu question urgent

Last response: in Components
Share

Hi, i recently purchased a corsair Corsair HX Series 520W Modular PSU

i purchased it from ebuyer.com but the power socket which i recieved for it resembles the american type power system. 2 pin socket in comparison to the UK 3 pin socket.

now i currently have an old power plug from my previous computer which i could use, but would this fry the psu?

please help

Thank you

be absolutely sure of your voltages before you go plugging things in, US runs on 120, you may be running on 210 or 220. generally not a good idea to mix the two. bad things happen

There is no switch for 110/220V on new PSUs - ones that have active PFC. And the corsair units have active PFC.
I am not sure about the plug. Can you take a picture and post it?
I cant find anything like that on the corsair web site.

what is PFC? and what do you mean conclusion lol am still confused as hell

the power plug is the american type

in the uk its a 3 pin diamond type plug.

american is 2 pin

That's definitely not a US plug, it looks like a CEE 7/7 or 7/17 (grounded and non-grounded) plug, both are backwards compatible with French and German sockets.
