    Welcome to the forums.
     
    Yes it will work fine..Look on the sticker where it says the AC Input is from 100-240 volts..Your 230V will be detected and auto-switched to use it..No problemo.

    A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away PSUs had a manual switch that you had to flip to go from 120 to 220 VAC but those days are long gone and to save money as well as time PSUs are normally now all auto-switching as bob16314 has stated. That was a PSU can work in Asia/USA/Europe for example with only the cable power plug being different in the country of use.

    There's a lot of el cheapo/economy units out there that still have the input voltage selector switch that you have to be aware of, like this one with the little red switch on the back..But most modern/decent units auto-detect and auto-switch..If the unit does not have a voltage selector switch, then it auto-switches within the voltage range shown on the sticker..With EVGA units you're good to go, no worries.

    The wall cable can be different as RJ said above..So you could take the unit to another country that uses a different plug/voltage and just buy an input/wall cable from just about anywhere.

    Many other electric things these days auto-switch too..Like hair dryers, electric razors, laptops, TVs, phone chargers, on and on, and will normally always say on them somewhere what the input voltage range is..Many hotels, internet cafes, airports and public places will have universal wall sockets that will accept different plug styles from different regions.
