1347091 2013-06-26 15:30:00 Hi all,

I bought a corsair AX1200, however it has an american (type B) plug. Will getting a travel adapter for NZ work fine?

Thanks in advance

1347092 2013-06-26 15:46:00 The power supply has universal ac input from 90 to 264v so does that mean ill be safe? osbornezo (16903)

1347094 2013-06-26 23:35:00 unless you really want a mickey mouse system after paying big $$ for a good PSU.......

No,no , no, do not use a travel adaptor. Especially on a 1200W PSU . There is a reason its not legal to sell appliances with those adaptors .
Go and buy the correct cable, spend that extra $5 . You prohably have one somewhere anyway . :thumbs:

er,um, no
Nada

1347095 2013-06-26 23:51:00 While it will work, don't go using a travel adapter for a 1200w PSU, you're asking for trouble. I would give you a NZ IEC lead, otherwise as has been said, you'd probably manage to pick one up for $5 somewhere, or nick the one from your jug or something. :p wratterus (105)

is a $3 part worthy resting the fate of an entire computer on?

probably not; id charge my phone battery via one though.

wratterus sums it up nicely
