I just built my pc it starts up with the cx 430 watt on my motherboard the atx connector to power up the motherboard is loose like if I move the cable it shuts off immediately however i can move the case up and down side to side with out any problem it wont unplug. So what I am trying to say is that it doesn't lock on as tight as it's suppose to. I am just wondering if this is normal or not because my pc has been running fine i haven't encountered one flaw about the computer beside this loose atx cable.

My PC Build:
MOBO: MSI A78M-E35
GFX: r7 260x
CPU: Athlon x4 760k
PSU: Cosair CX430
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB
HDD: Western Digital 500gb

The CX power supplies are known for the bad latches.

90% of corsair products are trash these days. QA went down the toilet. just check out reviews for their PSUs, water coolers and especially their "vengeance" memory.

The CX Series is second from the bottom in terms of quality in the Corsair lineup.

There have been several posts in this forum about the poor latching.
