PSU Plug Question

[Solitude]

I bought a Coolermaster Silent Pro PSU and it comes with a rather weird looking 2 point plug. The two points are a bit larger than normal 2 point plugs. Can I use this with a normal 2 point plug adapter or should I go to Game or some place and get a specific one?

Also on the back it says 250V and 16A. Should the adapter also show 16A on the back or doesn't it make a difference?

I don't know much about these things.

Did you get the PSU locally? If so maybe you should contact the people you bought it from to make sure?

[Solitude]

Yeah that's probably the best bet. Thanks S1ght. Will find out from them tomorrow. It'll probably work right on a normal adapter. I'm just afraid of frying things the first time I switch it on.

Or maybe give the model number and we can have a look for you?

[Solitude]

The model number? Is that the serial number of the PSU?

I found a link to pictures and specifications of the plug:

I think I'm just going to buy a new plug for this PSU.

yeah, that is the power plug going from the wall socket to the power supply, call by some a kettle cable. Ask around, maybe you can pick one up for free.

Thanks SharkBait. I've got an old "kettle cable" here which I saw on another forum would do the trick.

Its just a regular plug, that one has a fuse built into it, but you can change it to be a regular 3 pin plug, you will probably need to toss the old cable as the CM power supplies come with moulded plugs that just arent worth the effort to cut open, but a regular kettle plug will work fine

oh if its just the kettle plug then it should be fine I wasn't sure what you meant by the 250V and 16A thing so thought phoning could be the best option. I dunno why local people don't say anything about these things. I bought a MSI router from Cyberdyne and it came with the American Power adapter. sigh

Haha yeah I didn't know that it was called a kettle cable when I started this thread. I'm just waiting for my mobo to arrive and then I'll start building the pc. So I hope everything works and that the PSU doesn't blow up or anything.
