Most laptop power adapters are multi-voltage capable these days due to the fact that laptops are meant to be portable - if not that kind of limits the versatility of a laptop

The only thing he needs is a plug adapter

Like what TristanX said, it is multi-voltage capable, and thus you'll likely need a PSU cable (formally known as the IEC C13/C14 cable) with a US type plug (US/Canada/Japan/Taiwan uses the US-type plug, just for your information)

I cannot guarantee the reliability of plug adapters as it might not be able to handle the wattage, and thus a new power cable should be a better idea

Also, depending on which region of Japan you are living - you'll have to either deal with 50Hz power frequency (similar to Europe, and here) or 60Hz (similar to the US)

That's not too much problem consider the fact that most multivoltage capable PSUs will always have multifrequency capabilities

Of course, if you want to double confirm, just take a photo of the PSU label - it should say what voltage/frequency the unit supports. Some PSUs will label its input voltage right behind the PSU

Hello,any sifu use PC Power & Cooling Silencer PSU before ? How about the quality ?
thanks

Which model?

I haven't heard of this brand for quite some time now... They used to be quite good since some of their units are made by Seasonic, but I think their new units are not too good quality-wise:

These are made by Sirfa/Highpower, and the reviews are not encouraging to say the least

TristanX The upcoming Seasonic S12III is actually one of the first Seasonic-branded PSUs that are not manufactured by Seasonic themselves:

That isnt good.

Hi, I need recommendation for a reliable PSU for low wattage usage. I am planning to assemble a Ryzen 3 2200G pc, less than 200W required, 300W above should be very safe.

Grab something like an entry-level EVGA 450-500W unit and you'll be fine

Do you intend to use a discrete GPU?

Same here - it's obvious that they are slacking off due to very few competition (only Super Flower only can match Seasonic quality-wise)

Let's just hope that other OEMs such as FSP/CWT or even Great Wall can come up with a platform that can compete with Seasonic's quality

TristanX NZXT seems to have launched their E series PSUs (made by Seasonic) here:
https://www.lazada.com.my/products/nzxt-e85...554bSnyLwy&mp=1

It's essentially a Seasonic Focus Plus Gold with digital monitoring built-in

Although Tom's Hardware reviews are not exactly promising
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nzxt-e...w-psu,5802.html

Nope, only integrated for this build. I guess Ill just have to get the EVGA W2 500W, can't find anything lower unless its for SFF builds. Kinda wasted though, total system power won't even exceed 150W.

It is possible for pc to auto shutdown if the psu with gold rating detect a bad current flow?

rating only tells you about the efficiency of the particular PSU, it doesn't tell you whether if it has auto surge detection of any other detection features.

a good PSU should have current and surge detection. you should check its product page for details.

i got that problem when using this cooler master MWE gold, when i switch back to my old psu which is thermaltake trs2 600w it did not happen. the auto shutdown problem happen after a long usage and during gaming. one more thing when im using corsair tx650m the pc on a loop( when i push power button then it go to bios and sometime to windows loading but then it will off and on again doing the same thing in a loop).

im experiencing this issue since im changing psu....any idea wat is the culprit here?

what's your specs?

check motherboard and see whether if there's burns or bulging capacitors, such as in the VRMs.

it could also be the PSU itself which is faulty. don't use this PSU for now, try to RMA it.

I'm building a new pc. Please suggest between SF leadex ii gold 650 or Corsair rmx650 which one is better and more reliable.

Corsair TX650M is better than that 2. Not fully modular though. Another option is Seasonic Focus Plus.

Hi, I am planning to change my PSU as my current Super Flower Silver Eco 550w has buzzing issue, want to RMA it but will take a long time.

I am using Ryzen 5 2600 + RX 470, not a gamer but I know a good PSU is a must have. I have 3 HDD with important files inside so I cannot afford my PSU to screw up my PC.

My budget is around RM300, currently thinking about the Corsair CX550M. Is there a better choice at this price range? Don't need modular but I want to look for the best PSU in malaysia at RM300+-. Thanks in advance

Less budget is less quality. No best PSU on sale for us at the moment.

Hmm then if I bump up my budget a little, what is the minimum recommendation from you at price between 300-400?
