I recently moved and got all my power cables jumbled up. Something tells me they may have been made specifically for certain components. Mostly because they look different, are different lengths, and have different numbers (such as 125V 10A and 125V 13A). The power supply on my rig is a corsair TX750. I may be stressing myself for no reason but I'm not a big risk taker with ma baby.

And help, information, and/or input is greatly appreciated.

Find the thickest one (it will have the heaviest wires) and use it for the computer.

 

Figuring 80% efficiency, at full load, the PSU will pull less than 1 KW from the wall. That's about 8 amps @ 120 volts.

 

Then, after the computer is running for awhile, see if the power cord feels warm. It shouldn't.
