My time in Taiwan is close approaching and I have a question about my PC hardware. I built a PC in America. It has a Corsair CX650M power supply, billeted as universal. The power cord is your basic three-pronged one. I am going to be living in a newly built housing development in Taiwan. Will I be able to plug in and use my PC as-is, or do i need a different power supply or power cord? Anyone have experience with this?
Uh oh USA built it’s not going to last a month with Taiwan’s super ultra powered electric network.
Seriously just bring your power cord and if it doesn’t work buy one here dude.
Also your Brent photo really confused me…Sure not British ?
Lol no I am not British. I’m a big early-days Gervais fan though.
Yeah I just don’t want to damage my PC. If it simply doesn’t work then i guess i will use my gaming laptop or look for a cable. Im not trying to drop $2500 on a new PC even though this one is like 5 years old lol.
There’s nothing different between the US and Taiwan’s power.
I’ve used computers from the US and no issues. The power plug is also the same which is great.
Also, most desktop PC power supplies can switch between 110 and 220 v. Some are automatic, others have a manual switch. It’s not necessary in this case, but pretty much all PC PSU units are compatible with everywhere.
