The plug side that goes into the PSU is not standard.

The PSU is an EVGA 1600 G2 supernova.

How do I plug this in? I can't find a compatible cable or plug adapter.

It looks like I need a 6-15P to IEC C19 cable. I guess 14 gauge should be sufficient.

Edit: Wait...It might be 6-30... That's way harder to find.

Yea I can’t help you there. That NEMA 6-30P is going to be tough to utilize for this and could be dangerous. Good luck on your hunt. My only suggestion is maybe fine a PDU that could go between. I do not recommend making your own cable.

Could I not use a 6-30P to 6-15R adapter? My computer will blow up before that amperage becomes and issue.

I’m not an electrician. I would assume one adapter in the line would probably be fine if it’s a good quality adapter and no chance of coming loose. I would be worried about shorting / fires and would want an adequate breaker behind it, maybe arcflash.

You can get someone knowledgeable like an electrician to just change the outlet itself to whatever is best.
