[SOLVED] PCIE Cable for CX430M?

[Alexllte]

Just wanting to verify that this is the correct type of PCI-E cable for my CX430M, since I'm told they're model-specific:
https://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Memory-SLEEVED-CORSAIR-CP-8920114/dp/B00HVVPDVW

I'm aware that model of CP-8920111 is compatible, but the link above shows CP-8920114

My mistake, the product page from Corsair shows that it is compatible

Waitwaitwait, hold up. What are you trying to power? A cx430 is not a psu you want to use with any modern pc, let alone a gpu with two pci-e cable connections. The cx430 has cheap components, and with a low 12v wattage of 380w, any heavy load will probably kill the psu or worse.

I have an R9 270X and FX-8320, should I be concerned? These components are quite dated as well.

Yeah, you should be concerned. The 270x requires 2x6 pin cables and draws 200w+. The cpu also can draw up to 150w+.
Generally, if a psu doesn't have enough cables or the proper cables, you get a different psu. This case is not an exception, unless you don't mind potentially having a dead system.
