No, you need to plug into a source that draws AC. Then the current draw will burn-in the PC. Find a source that you can run continuously such as a computer and turn off the sleep mode.
Power cable "Break in" question
I have an integrated amp on order and expect delivery around the end of October. I decided to go ahead and purchase a good power cord. Considering I had to sell my existing amp to finance the new order, I'm left with nothing.
My question is; Can I simply plug the new power cord into the wall to register some break in time?

Like Lowrider57 said. It has to be connected to a load. If you buy one of these you could connect it to your refrigerator. The new power cord needs to be at least 14 gauge wire though. . |
If you can find a IEC to AC power adapter, you can plug into a high current appliance like a refrigerator or air conditioner. It would burn-in much faster; you really need high current similar to your amp. http://www.amazon.com/Parts-Express-Edison-Female-Adapter/dp/B0015V1GXS |
