Hey folks,
I recently installed a Silverstone DA750R PSU, and I’m just a little unsure about the power cord connection. The IEC 14 male connector (from the power cord) plugs into the IEC 13 female port on the PSU, and while it feels pretty stable and secure, it doesn’t seem to go all the way in — there’s a slight gap still visible.
There’s no wobble, and it’s not falling out or anything, but I just want to be sure this is normal. I don’t want to force it in and risk damaging something. Has anyone else experienced this? Should the connector sit flush, or is a small gap okay?
Appreciate any input!

It should sit relatively flush, but as long as it is the same cable provided with the PSU, I wouldn’t stress too much.
Give it a wiggle and try to get it a bit more seated, but if it’s stable and you can’t get it any further in, it is what it is. Wouldn’t worry about it
Mines kind of a pain it ass to get in too, gotta use a bit of force. Happened with both the psu I used on that. Both same, cheap off brand just diff wattages.
this is exactly how mine looks, but i’m unsure if mine is in all the way now 😭
In my experience, these connectors almost always have a bit of meat left outside the socket.
If it is seated firmly, does not feel like you can easily tug it loose, it should be fine.
They definitely do not all sit flush nothing to worry about.
Rarely have I seen the pug go all the way in
We’re still talking about plugs, right? … right?
