ATX12V v2.3
Modular
80 PLUS BRONZE Certified
100 - 240 V

The CORSAIR CX Series CX430M Modular power supply offers the flexibility of modular cabling, high reliability and low noise. 430W power output makes it perfect for your low/medium specification home or office PC. The flexible modular cabling system lets you use only the cables you need, and 80 PLUS Bronze certified efficiency means less excess heat, lower noise, and lower power bills. The large-diameter, thermally controlled fan makes the CX Series Modular quieter at idle, and the large diameter reduces noise even when you’re pushing your system hard. And, the matte black finish, black-sleeved cables and black connectors help give your system a restrained, high-tech look.

Modular Cabling System Get a cleaner-looking build and improved airflow with the modular cabling system. Since the peripheral power cables aren’t hard-wired to the power supply, you can connect only the cables you need for your exact configuration of PCI-E cards and storage devices. The rest of the cables stay in the box, and not in your PC’s case where they can add to the clutter and interfere with airflow.
Reliable and Compatible Designed by Corsair’s California engineering team, built to the exact specifications and tested to strict standards, the CX Series Modular power supply is reliable for smooth operation and offers seamless compatibility for trouble-free installation.
Compute quietly 80PLUS Bronze certification offers up to 85% energy efficiency for less heat generation. Less heat means less noise from the fan. The thermally controlled fan spins in response to the temperature for quiet computing at low load, and the large diameter reduces noise even at high load. Enjoy quiet computing.
Black Goes with Everything You’re building a PC, not a battleship, and appearance counts. The matte black finish, black-sleeved cables and black connectors help give your system a restrained, high-tech look.

timothyd4y 5/17/2013 7:24:42 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Running A-OK Pros: Running cool and quiet in a Cooler Master Elite 120 HTPC case with a ASRock mini-itx board, i3 2100t, MSI GTX650 ti boost, 3.5" HD and DVD burner. No issues at all. Cons: Cables could be softer/more forgiving, even shorter, but that's not worth losing an egg. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

N/A 4/28/2013 10:03:23 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Item as described, meets all expectations of the Corsair name. Pros: - Modular - Consistent output - Beautifully quiet - Standard Size (5.5 Inches in length, leaving just enough room for a optical drive in an HTPC case.) Cons: - None as of yet. Other Thoughts: I would recommend this for any mid-tier build. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!

Jason 4/26/2013 7:40:51 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Never lets me down Pros: for a 430w power supply this thing takes a beating. I run a GTX 460 (Power hungry!) and it never misses a beat. I ran a gtx 660ti and a power hungry FX-4100 overclocked and it never gave me a problem either!!! Cons: dont listen to people who put this PSU down because it is truely reliable and a great quality product Other Thoughts: Modular design is nice and the price is very attractive too. If you are doing SLI, etc. then this is not for you but it will power a 460/660ti with no problem, HIGHLY RECOMMEND 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?

Comes with 3 yr warranty from Corsair. Was worth the purchase, clearly. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
N/A 4/21/2013 4:25:50 AM Tech Level: 3/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5Works Pros: Works Cons: Fan does spin, but where does the air go? Even Jonny Guru asked the same question in their review. However they found this to be a very good PSU. Other Thoughts: Trusting Jonny Guru, is the reason I am not overly concerned with this product. However, not feeling any air moving from a spining fan means... I won't buy again Will recomend against. Thats just a really strange thing. 1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you?
