Brought the wrong power supply

Go to solution Solved by Khav,

any modern power supply will automatically switch between voltages.

(the back or label will list "110-230" or "100-240" depending on quality.

 

I confirm the voltage

Input Voltage 100 - 240 V

 

Thank god i won't have to order a new power supply.I just got myself a UK power cord

I live overseas and thus i have to use hopshopgo to buy stuff for me and then ship to my place.However i brought EVGA SuperNOVA 750G2 Power supply from amazon.com instead of amazon.co.uk since my country uses UK plugs. Thus i got a US power code but i can buy a UK power cord separately and use it with the power supply but i am scared it will blow my build.

 

 

Is a UK power cable going to be ok or i need to reorder a power supply ?

 

P.S its my first build

it breaks and potentially sets the house on fire.

 

this is a potential 3000 watts we are talking about here.

^This I use to use adapters all the time since I had a US laptop and there was a pop/spark and next thing I know the adapter doesn't work and I have to take the laptop to the shop to get it fixed because it messed up the battery or something
