Question Is it safe to plug in a gaming PC and a monitor into an extension lead?

[skidmark2007]

I'm not really sure where else to put this, so sorry if it's the wrong section.

I have a limited amount of plugs, so would it be safe to connect a gaming PC and monitor to a 13A rated extension lead?

What all is plugged into the outlet & extension? Outlets are typically 15amps. We don't want to overload that.

The outlet is probably also on a shared 10-15amp feed from the fusebox, overloading that will blow the fuse or trip the breaker. Shared means that it probably feeds lights and other outlets.

To answer your question, The pc will be fine, you wont draw enough power with just those on the extension.

right so, i built my first PC at the start of lockdown, everything was fine, very smooth and perfect. then all of a sudden my warzone bugged out when i changed the settings (blue fuzzy screen on the grass etc). this then effected my other games like fortnite where i had bad input delay and render problems. I had this issued looked at by a highly respectable Pc tweaker who couldnt even find a solution. So i assumed it as the PCs fault so i bought all new parts and made a new one, bam same issue again. even tried console on my monitor and that felt even worse. all my graphics were messed up on console i couldnt really see a thing. so i then assumed it was the monitor so i just bought a new one. and guess what, its not the monitor because it feels exactly the same. i literally just bought the new xbox and monitor and it feels like implaying on the xbox 360. bad input delays and graphics weird!

i use a basic extension lead, quiet an old one, i dont really know. please help

all my temps are fine ive done every single thing possible, but now im thinking its something to do with my bedroom or my plugs etc. Someone please help me youll be a life saver and ill be very happy!

Regards, Seb.

Let's say your electricity is 230V and your PC+Monitor consume 460W on heavy load:
460W/230V=2A -that's the current trough your extension lead.
