Is it safe to use a different power cable for my PSU?

Asked By GamerDude42 On

I'm looking for advice on whether it's safe to use a different external power cable for my power supply unit (PSU). I have an NZXT C750 (2022) that I'm reusing, and while I've got all the necessary cables for the motherboard and GPU, I can't find the original power cable. I think I lost it when I moved during the COVID period. Can someone help me understand if another cable is a safe option? Thanks in advance!

Just make sure that the wall-end of the cable has 3 pins. Some older or cheaper cables might only have 2, and those won’t work.

If you're using a 3-pin cable, that's fine. Just make sure it's rated for the correct voltage and amps. Always check the specs to avoid any issues!

Got it, thanks! I'll check those specs.

Yeah, you can definitely use a different cable! In my experience spanning over 40 years, I've never run into a situation where an alternate cable didn't work as expected.
