Question PSU power cord issue ?

[aadhiz]

Hi, Recently bought an MSI MAG 850GL PSU and it comes with a power cord of 16A/250v.
But I don't have a provision to plug the pin as it is very large. So I used my older PSU's power cord from a Cooler Master MWE 650 which came with 6A/240v power cord.

Is it ok to use this power cord for a long time?

As I understand your post the answer is no. It is not ok.

The 850GL PSU came with a 16A power cord and that is the cord that should be used.

Not a cord rated for 6A which is much lower. And the cord may be of lesser quality.

What is meant by "I don't have a provision to plug the pin as it is very large."?

Depending on the electrical outlets in your country (not asking) you may simply need an adapter of some sort to use the 16A power cord.

An adapter rated for 16A.

Outlet -----Adapter ------16A power cord ----- PSU.
