Moving Countries

AngryPig · November 18, 2018

I am looking at taking my gaming PC with me to the US from Australia and was wondering what the general impact on a system would be for the change in voltages between the two countries?

My second question is what is the likely outcome for my system? I have a Seasonic SSR-750FX which I doubt I am using anywhere near capacity (but would curious on finding out) so I would assume in my case I would be fine? (full specs of my system are on profile if it is more than just PSU that needs to be taken into account)

If the PSU specs say it works with 110/220 then there is literally no difference to the system, it will work fine.

You just need a new power cord.

Worst case scenario you might have a PSU that isn't auto-switching and has a dedicated switch on the back to shift between 110 and 220V that you need to remember to flip before you first plug it in...but I think those are mostly no longer in production.
