made an error guys

so I ordered a bunch of nema 6-20 to c13 plugs for my psu's (- | )

turns out my dad hadd an error and it is actually a nema 6-15 plug (- -)

Now that i already have the plugs (and a power strip) for 6-20, i will need to either buy a series of convertes (which I cannot seem to find) or rma the cords and pay exchange fees etc.

Looking for a cost effective solution for my mine as this company isnt open atm so tracking down some conversion plugs for cheat or something would be nice :/

You could buy screw-on ends of the proper type, cut the old ends off and wire the proper onto the existing cords.

You could resell the cords and buy new.

You could buy a sack of wire nuts, cut all the ends off and hardwire everything.

You could buy a 6-20 socket to replace the wall outlet and work from that.

You could invent time travel?

all of these are valid.

The cords you have dont match the outlets - there isnt really a cheap solution to this besides re installing the correct outlet or buying the correct cord

24" PCI-E cables with 16AWG wires and stripped ends - great for server PSU mods, best prices https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563461
No longer a wannabe - now an ASIC owner!
