If the power supply on my PC says 10A 220V does it matter that what the power cord power cord says, my PC says
100-120 / 220-240 V there is a little red switch that
switches from 115 to 230 can i use a power cord that says 125V
I would be careful with the cord. If it is not rated to handle 220-230V it may be a fire hazard. If it's the cord that was provided with your PC, then there should not be a problem, but, hey, better safe than sorry.
Says that the prototype was tested for 125v when UL visited the factory. Should be no problem at 220 but I would question the plug since 220 is different that the 2 blade u ground standard for 110.
10a 220v has to be a pretty big power supply , must be running into the gigahertz with multiple processors. Ed Fair

Hi.. first of all u have to set the pc power supply setting according to ur mains voltage (110/220).
The voltage rating of the power cord is not significant...what important is its POWER rating
(VOLTAGE x AMP),which should not be less than ur pc's
power load. Say the power cord says 125V,5A. then its power
rating is 125x5=625 WATTS. If ur pc consumes less than 625watts, then u're just just fine.
