Someone could confirm if using your Gooler Master PSU power cord in the new pre-built PC would function properly or cause immediate damage. Since both devices are keyed identically, the outcome seems likely to be unsafe.

The prebuilt PC uses a standard PSU cable. It comes from an OEM or system builder, but the exact model isn't specified.

Ensure compatibility between power cables and the new unit. The internal parts are designed for ATX standards, but the power supply side differs. Even PSUs from the same brand may have varying pin configurations.

It's just a standard C13 power cable that's been around for years. You can use whatever cable you're holding or any other one with the same connector that fits your local outlets. It's okay. The warnings about mixing power supply cables are mainly for internal, modular ones—like the ones @IkeaGnome mentioned. Those vary by manufacturer and product line, so avoid mixing them.
