I bought a silverstone ST75F version 2.2 some time ago on frozen cpu.com. I live in europe(scandinavia) so i just realised that it might not work were i live. Seeing as some countries have different voltage ratings and connectors. My PSU came with a north american connector (dont know the name).


Could i just swap connectors to my native?

And will the PSU handle 220v-240v@50hz without any modification?.

My old PSU have some kind of label/button that states what voltages it currently running on, but my silverstone doesnt have that feature. I dont want to feed my PSU with the incorrect voltage if you know what i mean.

Yes it will work.
You just need a cable with the correct wall socket type for your country ;)

check the back. it'll either have a switch to change modes from 110V to 220V or it'll say it has APFC, which means no worries.
most new PSUs have one of the two, so it should be fine.

Checked SilverStone's site.
It's A.PFC and it'll work fine ;)
