The plug side that goes into the PSU is not standard.

The PSU is an EVGA 1600 G2 supernova.

How do I plug this in? I can't find a compatible cable or plug adapter.

Right, where do I find the cable? I can't find it on evgas website or anywhere else.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you upload a picture of the plug because it should be easy to find standard cables?

[–] average650@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone else has given me what I need I think ,but it looks like the one here:. https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=220-T2-1600-X1#images-4

That's the titanium model, while I have the cheaper gold on, but I think the plug is the same.

Sorry I meant your power outlet. The outlet on the PSU is standard for 220v from what I know

It looks like I need a 6-15P to IEC C19 cable. I guess 14 gauge should be sufficient.

Edit: Wait...It might be 6-30... That's way harder to find.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea I can’t help you there. That NEMA 6-30P is going to be tough to utilize for this and could be dangerous. Good luck on your hunt. My only suggestion is maybe fine a PDU that could go between. I do not recommend making your own cable.

[–] average650@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Could I not use a 6-30P to 6-15R adapter? My computer will blow up before that amperage becomes and issue.

[–] notfromhere@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not an electrician. I would assume one adapter in the line would probably be fine if it’s a good quality adapter and no chance of coming loose. I would be worried about shorting / fires and would want an adequate breaker behind it, maybe arcflash.

You can get someone knowledgeable like an electrician to just change the outlet itself to whatever is best.
