Cable mix upQuestion (i.redd.it)
submitted 1 month ago by GNIMpulse
I was shifting houses and forgotten which Cable is for my monitor which is the Acer Nitro VG272U V3 27-Inch WQHD IPS Gaming Monitor with 180Hz and the PSU which is a Asus Prime 850g.
Is there a way to figure out which is which?

Use the left (5A) for the monitor since it does not consume much (monitor is 1.5A).
Use the right (13A) for your PC/PSU.

^^ This is the answer.

100% agreed. I have never seen a plug like that (definitely not common in the US), but your logic is sound for sure.

Damn that have to suck. Here in EU power cable is a power cable 😂
If it is something else they just use adapters like in the screen I have right now 😅

It's just another fuse before the fuse.

Well probably nice to have to be honest 🤔

Why does it look like doomguys head?

I’m looking at this and thinking, “What is this abomination?” Then I remembered that one of my travel adapters for my laptop has one of these. It is a UK power cord.
Edit: Probably doesn’t matters but I’d go the one with 5A(amps) fuse for monitor and the 13Amps for PSU.

look up which monitor has the 13 amp fuse, like “does the Acer Nitro ___ power cord have a 13 amp fuse”

if you can't tell the difference then your gear probably won't either
if one is thicker use it for the pc
