UPS

So my PSU (650W) died a few days ago and its warranty is already expired. Other parts are working fine. I am trying to get a Corsair RMx model or Nzxt psu, but I am only able to find 750W models in our market. Also the price difference between 650W and 750W is also minimal here. But the issue...

After that I reconnect the...

I currently have an APC Back-UPS 1100VA (specifically, BX1100L-MS) and I was wondering if it's safe to place it in the desk? Specifically near the monitor or PC? Or should I just put it under the desk? Additionally, how can I check compatible batteries for my UPS? I'm planning to buy a CSB...

Hello, I used an online UPS calculation for my Desktop PC and its monitor, it displayed that i have to buy an UPS with 1500VA/900W . The problem is that in my country it is not available, i found only an 2000VA/1200w UPS. So it is safe to buy an UPS with higher values ? Thanks in advance.

If my computer's PSU is 1200W (Corsair AX1200), would that mean I'd need a UPS that was 1200W? I realize that the 1200W is the capacity of the PSU and not the load, but I was just wondering whether at startup (or similar) the wattage rating of the PSU might be relevant in selecting a proper UPS...

So, today i had a power outage in my area, and I had to shut down my computer immediately. After that, I turned off the UPS without turning the PSU switch to off.

The current draw being reported by my UPS does not remotely match any online power supply calculator. I suspect that the UPS is probably correct and the power supply calculator is wrong, but I want to see what others think. Running Prime95, MSI Kombustor (video stress test), and AS-SSD...

I've been wondering if it's safe to plug an 1500VA/900W UPS in the same outlet as the 5000 BTU window air conditioner is connected in a duplex receptacle. Can that affect the connected appliances/devices in some way if they're both running? Living with a power grid of 120V/60Hz and having 2...
