Can I use AC power cord of Seasonic PSU with Corsair PSU

[MS14]

Turns out, AC cord of my new Corsair TX650m PSU can not fit into any wall sockets or in my UPS socket. But I still have my old Seasonic S12ii PSU. Can I use its AC cord with Corsair one? Will it be safe for my other components & the PSU itself? If not, what are my other options now?

then yes

AC cords simply carry a direct power signal, they don't do anything to it, or are a safety mechanism, as long as the prongs fit they work. The actual PSU block takes care of all the important things like voltages and surges.

It should be standard IEC C13 cable, they're interchangeable.

The AC power cord uses a standard C13 connector, so yes you can use the power cord from the Seasonic PSU.

Why doesn't it fit? Is it the wrong plug type for your country? It should include include the cable for the region it is sold in. If it didn't include the right cable you should be talking to the store you bought it from.

They sent me the cable with UK plug where as I am in India. I am not the only one, for some reason, corsair does not put Indian socket compatible plug at all, regardless of where we buy it from . I will send them an email soon as well. They also had a warning label on the plug that said if the plug is unsuitable for available socket, we should cut it off & replace it with another plug with 13 AMP rated fuse.

is the sticker from the retailer or?

i dont recommend changing a socket head unless you're comfortable with it

I would not be changing it, maybe I will use an adapter instead. I will definitely contact corsair & ask them for a replacement cord. Doubt they will do anything though, since it is a known problem. Amazon is full of people complaining about this.

in any case, you'll be fine with using the other cord
