is the cx 430 watt compatible with the rx 480?

[Hey Adrian]

does it have all the necessary plugs? thanks

Out of the box, no since you need a 8PIN PCIE cable. That only has a 6pin. But 6-8pin connectors are cheap so that is a problem. But I would wonder what system you have since the 480 Pulls 150watts alone, you will need a bigger supply if you are loading it with higher end parts.

The cx 430 watts is can run a rx 480 perfectly but you might not be able to overclock. But you psu does need a 8pin connector in order to use the gpu

A Radeon RX 480 needs 30 amps on the 12v + rail and a 500 watt power supply with 1 - 6+2 pin PCIE power connection.

A Radeon RX 480 needs 30 amps on the 12v + rail and a 500 watt power supply with 1 - 6+2 pin PCIE power connection.

My current build consists of
Cpu - Amd athlon x4 760k
Gpu - Gtx 750 ti
Psu - cx 430 watt
Hdd- 1 tb wdb
Mobo- msi a78m-e35
case - corsair spec 01
cooler - hyper evo 212 (yes it fits)

I really want the rx 480, how do i make this work without changing psu?

I don't understand, some people are saying yes it works, some people are saying no?

the wattage is fine as well lol i want the 4gb version i don't want a hard core overclocked one

It will run it , there is enough power on the rail and it has the 6+2 connection, but due to being a lower quality power supply , it probably won't last long.

Okay, thanks.

i hav e an intel i5 4590 and i put a rx 480 instead of my 750 and it says its only going to dra 343 w i have a 430 watt psu idk abou t amd but intel is power efficient so i can get away with not replacing my psu it may be the case for you too just go on pc part picker and pick all your current parts
