surge

My number one priority is protecting my PC outages or surges, i dont really care about how much more time a UPS can give me when a power outage occurs. Will something like APC - Back-UPS 650VA, 230V or APC - Back-UPS 850VA, 230V do the job? im trying to budget here so the cheaper the better. I...

Hi, Bought a brand new GPU recently. When playing heavy games - the PC shut downs with surge being detected. In light games the pc doesn't shut down. GPU - 3060 PSU - 750W (more than enough for 3060) Mobo - Asus with anti-surge protection

Problem: Every few weeks, the machine goes for several days consecutively no longer responding to the power button press in the morning, irregardless if it was shut down or asleep. The only way to turn on the PC is to flip the switch on the surge protector to OFF, then ON. When it is flipped to...

When I first started looking it was just for UPSs since I was just looking for something to get my computer shut down properly and save anything I may need to at times the power goes out. Some time we have to happen frequently in the spring and other years only 2-3 times a year so I guess it's...

My 5 year old H81 gamer's voltage rails went and stayed low after a number of 'surge protection' related auto-resets last night, all while I had plugged a brand new Logitech G923 in and mid game. After entering the BIOS after each reset I noticed the voltage rails were quite low: +12v was...

Hello, I am wanting to get a UPS for my home theater system. I know any UPS wouldn't be able to power a home theater for very long, what I am interested in is the power regulation, power info as well as the surge protection. Power fluctuations are not good for electronics and a UPS with AVR...
