Is it okay for me to plug my PC and Monitor into a Surge Protector/Power Strip

JimmyJimmy215

This is the pc and this is the surge protecto/power strip . I know that there are certain things that you shouldn't connect to a power strip, but, I only really have 2 outlets next to me, which is not enough for the 6 outlets I need to power my setup.I linked the one that I am using. I'm just wondering if I am okay to plug in my PC,Monitor(s), and whatever else into this power strip without running the risk of destroying something.

Welcome to the forum!

 

I would actually worry more about the power on the outlet itself running out but otherwise sure

Not sure what you mean by that, is a PC, 3 monitors, and a powered USB hub really enough to take up all the power in an outlet?

I don't know really. I was just guessing. Well if you can use more then one outlet (if there is another one nearby) then sure you will be safe. What will you be using the computer for (OCing?)

Well I do have 2 outlets, I assuming I should just plug the pc into a standard outlet then maybe the 3 monitors and powered usb hub into the power strip?
