What adapter would i need for this psu?
So I'm interested in this psu:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-PRO750W-Edition-Bronze-Cert...
however after reading the amazon reviews, it apparently comes with a european plug, I live in the uk so I need an adapter, however I have no idea what adapter cable to get as they come with different fuses etc.
is it risky to use an adapter cable, or should I just get this psu, which is more expensive and of a lower quality, but ships with a uk plug:

From what I know, only XFX does that, or at least did. But you will have to check when you get your stuff anyway, it will come with the information you need.
http://www.xfxsupport.com/Account/Register.aspx (I think you have to create an account first, and then you register your product.)

damn, thats a lot of info, i'm confused just looking at it!

5 years, but you have to register it within 30 days of your purchase date, if I understood correctly. If not, you will get a 2 year warranty.


Okay, where do I have to register, on the xfx website? Does that policy apply to gpu's such as the r9 290 or the i5 cpu's?

You're welcome :)  And thanks haha, I might add that if you're getting it from amazon, they have an excellent return policy, so if anything is wrong (I doubt there will be anything wrong), you can just send it back.


That's why i'm making sure i buy everything from amazon! I was wondering do you have any idea regarding the warranty of the psu?

It won't affect anything if you decide to go with that, no need to worry about that. And yes, that's what you need, but I'd suggest that you buy the power supply first, as it might come with the right plug. And be aware that people are more likely to leave a review when something goes wrong.


infact, i'll risk it and go with the 650w, as it's semi-modular and i only need 650w anyway. I'll take everyone's word that it's a reliable and high quality product! Thanks, I just hope this god damn psu works when i order it! Have another best answer :)

But look at da reviews xD

I think it's best I go for the 750w one as it seems to have been recieved much better. So what will i need to buy in order to be able to use it? Just a kettle plug, put that into the mains supply and put that in my psu? That simple? It definitely wont affect the lifespan of it will it?
