balibee Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hi all, Recently I moved to Switzerland and brought my new computer build from Canada. The PSU on my build is a Corsair cx500. In Switzerland the electrical power and power plugs are different from Canada. Swiss: Voltage 220V, Frequency 50Hz. The plugs look like this: http://www.about.ch/various/electricity.html In Canada it is 110V and 60Hz. From the specs, I saw that the cx500 can handle those voltages and frequencies just fine. But the problem I'm facing is the power plug on my PSU doesn't fit here. I tried finding a simple adapter but no luck. So is it possible to just switch the power cable that I already have with a North American plug to another generic brand cable here with a Swiss plug attached? Will that have any negative effect on the PSU? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
