DC to DC psu

[NoobSlayer100]

Hi, I just brought this new PSU and its a dc to dc type, do I need something like a converter to plug it in to or this just work the same with other psu that can be plugged directly into wall outlet or UPS?

What kind of PSU is that? Your wall outlet is AC

It's an AC to DC power supply like any other, "DC to DC" is just an advertising point about some of the internal workings.

Not necessarily. DC - DC PSUs do exist, things like PICO PSUs etc and are generally aimed at really small form factor builds where using a traditional PSU just isn't possible.

 

 

Generally speaking DC - DC PSUs will come with an external brick to handle the AC - DC conversion.
