Hello friends I need your help..
My psu 3 pin 13a cable does not fit into thoe 3 pin socket of my ups. How can I put it ??

Post pics? Your UPS should have the same sockets as the ones on the wall, otherwise you might have the wrong UPS for your region.

That cable is for the UK.
Go to a computer store and buy a power cord. That power cord will fit in your UPS.
I have bought a Corsair CX430 and that also came in with its own power cord. I didn't use that.

As for posting pictures: go to imgur.com and upload your picture on the website
They'll give you a link, such as imgur.com/abcdef
then use [ img][/img] tag and post link inside that.
e.g

Brother Iam from india..
Does the power cord you mention above will exactly be the same as my psu cable ?? And much will it cost in india...

 

[cst1992]

I don't know that. I'm from India as well.
If you have an old computer then you can use its power cord. They're compatible.
The power cord doesn't need to be exactly the same. It just needs to have that plug which will fit with the plug on the power supply.

It is written in the psu cable that, if this 3 pin cable doesn't fit in the 3 pin ups socket then an alternative cable should be conected with 13a

 

[cst1992]

That's nonsense.
I'm running the power supply fine for almost a year with my old power cord. No problems at all. Any cord, as long as it fits in your power supply and UPS, will work fine.

Dat means if I will use any power cord, there will be no harmfull effect in my graphic card right ??

 

[cst1992]

No. None at all. Just get a good quality cord that you know works before using.
