Dark Power 13 1000w wrong plug!?

[espr3ss0]

I just got Dark Power 13 1000w, but it has the wrong plug socket type!

 

I found this EU To UK Plug Adapter, but am wondering if it's good enough? I searched the Be Quiet website but couldn't find anything.

From what I've heard is that the 3 pin wall to PSU plug is standardised so any legit fits, it's the cables after the PSU that are unique. I'd just get a wall plug. I've just bought one for my Corsair PSU that came with UK plug to EU but yet to test it.

Good idea, thanks!

Just get the proper mains cable. The plug that goes in the power supply is called IEC C13 

 

As it's a 1000w psu, at maximum wattage it will pull around 5-6A from mains, so you should look for a cable rated for at least 10A  (AWG 18 or AWG 16 thick wires).
