PSU power cord help!

[xchronofox]

So I have an asus monitor and a PSU evga 750w +80 gold, i moved everything and now i dont know which power cord cable goes to my asus monitor and which one to my psu,
the cables brand are : I-Sheng https://www.amazon.com/I-Sheng-1250w-Black-Generic-Power/dp/B00HLTKOPO

and Honglin- HL 002 HL 004 https://uedata.amazon.com/HONGLIN-HL-004-HL-002-E254927-3X0-824mm%C2%B2/dp/B00XE0TQV2

please help

Don't panic. either one will work. the description for the HONGLIN tells us that is has 18gauage wiring with is pretty light gauge but more then enough for your monitor. No info about the I-Sheng other then volt and amp rating, and as it is the same as the Honglin it probably has the 18Guage wiring, but Might have slightly heavier 16Guage; so I would connect the Sheng to the power supply.
You can check the outside black casing of the I-sheng: it should tellyou what gauge wiring it has.
Want something a little more heavy duty to the PSU: Check this.

I use these as replacements.

Hello! thank you so much for the quick answer! the I-sheng also has 18 AWG and it has 105 gradius C

while the honglin has 18 AWG apparently and 75 gradius C

I usually go 14 AWG for PSU cords.

#18 gauge copper is good enough for 10A, which is appropriate for IEC C13 cords since the C13/C14 connectors are only rated for 10A. Appliances that require higher current should be using cables with C19 plugs and C20 inlets which are rated for 16A.

As long as manufacturers follow specs, you effectively cannot plug a cord rated for 10A in an appliance that requires more.

Hello! Yeah I think that was the cable that came with my PSU but I tried to look information but no luck so the I-sheng should be with my psu or the honglin? also does the temperature that I posted before of the cables mattered in any way? or should I buy a better cable?

Just plug them wherever you want and be done with it. It should not matter that much.

If a cable has fuse built into it, plug it into the psu, otherwise don't bother to figure out which came from what.

You are overthinking it. The temperature on the cable is irrelevant unless you are going to run the cable in a tight bundle or in a very high temperature environment. In a human-habitable room with the cable in open air, passing 10A through #18 copper would produce negligible heat and temperature increase. Now, add the fact that your PC is not going to be drawing 1200W in the first place and that becomes a non-issue.
