Need Help Finding a Replacement Power Cable for My PSU
Asked by
TechieWizard42
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!

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.

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!
TechieWizard42: Thanks a lot for the help! With your suggestion and another one I saw, I have a clear idea of what to look for.

TechieWizard42: 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.
