Can I use different power cord for PSU?

Any cable will work. A 1,000W power supply (80\% efficient) will pull about 10 amps at full load. That’s well within the specs of any of those cables. Some compaines do sell heavier duty cables, with larger wires in them, but there’s no need in this case.

Can I use 6a instead of 10A?

So yes, it would be mostly fine for a 600W PSU.

What type of power cord does a PSU use?

P1 (PC Main / ATX connector) The primary task of the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is to provide your motherboard with power. This is done via the 20-pins or 24-pins connector. A 24-pins cable is backwards compatible with a 20-pins motherboard, often this cable can be split into 20- and 4-pins (like in the image above).

What power cord should I use for my PC?

You will need a heavy-duty cord, which implies that you should find one that has a “14” rating. You can even go with a 12-gauge cable, but it’s not necessary. However, it is important to choose a grounded design of the cord. That means it should have three prongs, as that is the safest option to use with a PC.

What does 16A 250v mean?

So 16 A / 250 V basically means that unless your laptop’s power supply consumes over 16 amps of power and unless the electricity company provides over 250 V, your socket is guaranteed to not catch fire.

Will any power cord work for PC?

Thanks 🙂 Basically, if it’s just a cable (no power adapter) and it physically fits your computer, it’ll be just fine. Desktop computers (and many monitors) all use the same connector (IEC). Of course, different plugs are used in different countries, but electrically they are all the same.

Are PSU power cords the same?

Fortunately, they’re all the same; if the power cable fits into the PSU then it’s the right one. Generally, there are 2 different types for computer PSUs: the C13/C14, and the C19/C20.
