Will this PSU WORK

Fuyvx · Aug 1, 2014

I order this PSU i wanna to know if it will work for this motherboard "msi fm2 a75ma e35"

The PSU IS :Corsair Builder Series CX 430 Watt ATX/EPS 80 PLUS certified Power Suppy

The PSU will work with your motherboard. Whether it's appropriate for the rest of your system is another question - what is the rest of your build?

I have a amd athlon x2 340x

Amd radeo hd 5450

2 driver hdd

And that motherboard

And the psu i order today cus i order an logisis corp

You need at least 300 watts, which you've got, but you also need 30 amps on the +12V rails. The CX430 has 32 amps, so that's shaving it pretty close. I would recommend that you get a larger PSU and/or a higher quality one.

If you tell me what country you're in and what you're budget is, I can make a recommendation.

volcanoscout :

But the psu will work ??

volcanoscout · Aug 1, 2014

It should, yes.

volcanoscout :

I hope this will work becuase i bought the logisys corp 480w and it turn on and do 2 short beep

Fuyvx :

That's not surprising. Below is pasted a list of PSUs as vetted by the pros here at tom's Hardware. You'll find the Corsair CX models in Tier 3. You'll find Logisys in Tier 5. That's the "Don't use at all. Ever. Never!" category.

So that mean the logisys was an bad idea right ?

volcanoscout · Aug 1, 2014

Fuyvx :

Well, in retrospect, yes. That was not a good buy. But now you've found THW and we'll do our best to steer you right.

volcanoscout :

So the cosair cx430 builder serie will work fine?

volcanoscout · Aug 1, 2014

SHOULD work. I make no guarantees, and as I said earlier, I would recommend a more powerful model.

Fuyvx · Aug 1, 2014

like which one?

volcanoscout · Aug 1, 2014

Fuyvx :

Like any of these: http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/corsair-power-supply-cx500%2Ccorsair-power-supply-cx600m%2Cevga-power-supply-100b10500kr%2Cevga-power-supply-100b10600kr/

There are more to choose from- this was just a quick selection. If you tell me what country you're in, what your budget is and if you have a preferred website that you want to order from, I can give you a better recommendation.

i will go with the corsair builder 500w

volcanoscout · Aug 1, 2014

Good - even if the smaller PSU would have worked, the larger one won't have to work as hard and should last longer.

Fuyvx · Aug 1, 2014

volcanoscout :

Thanks So The 500w will work fine?

Fuyvx · Aug 1, 2014

i want to make sure before i do another mistake like last time

volcanoscout · Aug 1, 2014

Fuyvx :

Yes, it will be fine
