Would using a higher rated power lead cause issues?

I'm not sure if I worded the title correctly but I don't know what else to call it specifically. The PSU I have is "rated" (I'm not sure that's the right term for it though) for 200-240V 6A. The only leads I have are either 250V 5A or 250V 10A. Would using either of these cause issues for my PC?

In this case, you should use the 250V 10A power cord. You can go the same or up on voltage and amperage.

Hi @danielg60938

Might depend on where you are.

Using the 5A cable might not damage the PSU but may damage the cable or it becomes a fire hazard.

If the local mains power supply is 240V and the PSU is rated for 200-240 6A then a 5A cable is not sufficient. The cable will run hot if the full amount of current is required.

The maximum power that a 240 6A PSU can accept and use is 1440W whereas the 250V 5A cable maximum power rating is 1250W

The PSU may not require this amount but you don't know.

I would use the 10A cable to be safe. Let the fuse in the PSU protect it if necessary and don't use the 5A cable as a fuse.
