    Cool and performance PC


    The fuse for power cord are just a single wire , it does not make sense and it cause the pc to run hotter and lower the performance of the pc.

    I was taught how to achieve cool and performance pc by changing the power cord or replace the fuse of all power cords to without fuse or insert a thicker wires with the fuse.

    After the mod,all the hardwares run cooler with performance. One example
    would be my cpu and mainboard run less than 40oc after hours of usage and gaming.

    Note: this mod only use for pc with power consumpation of no more than 13a 1300watts.

    The fuse is there to protect you. If there's a short-circuit, the fuse will blow - isolating the pc. If you replace the fuse with a thick wire, a short would allow the maximum current (main fuse box rating) to flow, causing damage to occur before the main circuit breaker tripped. Worse-case scenario is the pc catching fire or electrocuting the user - or both.

    A fuse should only be replaced by one with the rating and characteristics specified by the equipment manufacturer. The function of the fuse is to prevent an over current situation which can lead to a fire, not to protect the device.

    Nothing you can do with the cord or fuse will keep the computer cooler or improve it's performance.

    Totally agree , I would never try nor recommend that Mod. If I was a moderator, I would delete the thread

    1. Modern PSU do not have fuses. Nor do their power cables.
    2. The fuse does not affect how cool your system runs. The current going through a fuse or not is the same - it is what your processor needs, no more, no less, and it is the current that determines how hot the processor or components run. You have been sold a bill-of-goods.
    3. I have never heard of a power cord having a fuse built in. If indeed you have such a fantastical beast, by bypassing it, you risk a fire while gaining nothing.

    @Geneo Maybe it's a UK thing, but all my power cords have a fuse in the plug - colloquially known as 'kettle leads'.

    If the OP had a fire, I bet bypassing the pc fuse would invalidate his house insurance

    Off topic but I'd never thought of that before, all our stuff is fused on the plug but when you go to other countries it isn't

    Hi,
    In the U.S. most appliances are 110/120v not 220/240v like UK/... only a select few are 220/240v in the U.S. and computers sure isn't one of them
    Had a UK renter lady ask about if I could add a 220/ 240v line for her kettle lol
    I said go to walmark and buy a 5-10.us $ water can.. to heat your water up for tea time
