Hey everyone! I recently bought a Cooler Master MWE Gold V2 1250 Full Modular power supply for my new PC build, but I realized it arrived without a power cable. I'm located in the US, and when I reached out to customer support, they said they couldn't provide a replacement since I ordered from a non-US vendor (I got it from Amazon). They didn't help much when I asked for a replacement suggestion. I'm looking for a cord that would be safe to use because I have a few random ones lying around, and I'm worried about potentially damaging my new PC or worse! Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You should get a 14AWG IEC C13 to NEMA 5-15P power cable. It’s a good match for your PSU and should keep things safe without frying anything!
Are you talking about the cable that connects from the wall socket to the PSU? A quick search shows this PSU usually doesn't come with an AC cable. Since it’s rated over 1140W, it typically needs a C19 terminated cable, but in North America, a C13 cable rated for 15A works fine. That’s what this PSU uses according to the product details.
That's exactly what I meant! Thanks for clarifying. I'm considering a Tripp Lite cord from Amazon now. Should it meet the power supply requirements? Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0012EI6KE.
Thanks a lot for the help! With your suggestion and another one I saw, I have a clear idea of what to look for.
