Has anyone traveled with a desktop PC to another country where its 220v as opposed to 110v?

I'm currently travelling and brought my mini ITX gaming PC. I've been using a step-down transformer to bring it back to 110v, but I'm curious if anyone has had experience plugging into a 220v socket. theoretically, it should work, but I'm kinda scared to blow it up. I've blown up one power bar already, but it wasn't rated for 220v and I didn't see it. Now I'm just paranoid lol.

I've never tried and when I had PCs on military bases overseas, we always had 110v on base. 220v should work, you will just need an adapter for your 110v plug. But I understand the hesitancy. Just make sure you switch the PSU to 220v.

you will be ok, you just need to swap the power cable for a 220v one. as you can see below from asus website the voltage range on that power supply  is "100-240Vac"
