Our old apartment complex has ungrounded outlets. All 3-prong
appliances are connected with 3-to-2 adapters. Will this affect our
ability to use a PC power supply with Active PFC?

Sorry if this is a dumb question!


It wouldn't affect active power factor correction, but you would be
well advised to add a ground to your computer equipment for
electrostatic discharge protection.

There's a safety issue as well . . .
