Dangerous to Use Different Power Cable?

[JudithWright]

I have the ARESGAME Power Supply 600W 80+ Bronze Certified PSU (AGW600) - which I purchased here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R1NK176/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

But I do not have the power cable that came with the original box.

 

Is it safe to use a power cable from another brand?

 

I have two extra EVGA power cables that both say 10A 125V

 

Will is be safe to use one of these cables for the ARESGAME power supply?

Or are there risks?

IEC C13 power cables are not specific to any one device, so yes it's fine.

I'm not sure this is accurate. BitWit just bricked a build by accidentally using power cables from another manufacturer with the wrong power supply. You need to first check that the pinout is the same to my knowledge.

Yes, it is accurate. The C13 power cable is the mains cable connecting the power supply to the wall for AC power. It's not one of the cables connecting the components of the system to the PSU itself. A C13 power cable has a standard pinout, and even if the hot and neutral wires are swapped it would still work fine since it's AC power. It's a universal connector.

Oh, you're right! I was thinking of the modular connectors for something like the GPU or 12pin.

Yeah, those are definitely not universal in nature, but the mains AC cable is. Modular PSUs are nice, but you have to keep the cables separate if you have different models.
