Hi guys. Please clear my confusion. I have observed that many monitors and PSUs these days are coming with the big 16AMP power cord.
I have 2 rigs. One with a intel 13700k, 3080Ti FE, Viewsonic XG431 monitor and a Corsair HX 1500i platinum PSU. This rig is connected to my APC SRV2KL-IN UPS with two 16amp-6amp 3 pin adapters via the same 16amp power cords that came with the PSU and Monitor. I havnt had any issue with this machine.
Now my 2nd brandnew rig is having the AMD 7800X3D, Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT, Viewsonic XG2431 monitor and a Asus Rog Loki 1000W platinum PSU connected to my APC BR1500G-IN UPS with two 16amp-6amp 3 pin adapters via the same 16amp power cords that came with the PSU and Monitor.
So what i want to know is that is it ok if I use a standard 10AMP power cord for both these rigs? Because connecting the 16amp power cords with the 16AMP to 6AMP 3 pin adapter behind the UPS takes too much space and the contact is not always firmly secured with the 16AMP to 6AMP 3 pin adapter. Also for some strange reason my 7800X3D rig shutdown by itself when I launched a game, however i wasn't able to replicate the issue when I used a normal 10amp power cord attached to the bigger APC SRV2KL-IN UPS and so far the system is rock solid stable even after running some cinebench tests and games. My electrician also checked for any possible earthing issues but there seems to be no such problem.
Would appreciate some valuable feedback.
