Can i use my old power cable for the PSU?

[Coolharmony2]

Hi,

I bought a new computer.

But with the power suplly there is not a power cable.

Can I use the power cable of my last computer ?

Are all cable similar ?

My last computer had a Power Supply of 250w.

The New Computer has a Power supply of 600w.

On the Cable, i See the norm 10 a / 120 v.

It is correct ?

Thank-you !

That's what I do. I think that cable is rated for higher current than either of those power supplies use.

There is no problem using old power cables.

10 Amperes @ 120 VAC is 1200 Watts so you should be okay. If you went over 1200 Watts there could be a problem...

cable gauge (thickness) is what matters most with PSUs pulling wattage. More beef it's pulling the lower the gauge. But you're perfectly fine with using your old cable.

but for 600 watts with the 600 cx v2.

Is it better to have a power cord of 15 a / 125 v compared to a power cord of 10 a / 125 v ?

Are there different model of power cord ?

are any power cords can connect to any power supply ?

You will be fine.

Those cords are rated much higher than the power supply. Chose either one.
