UPS

I recently ordered a CyberPower CST1300AL UPS unit, but after looking into it some more, I'm debating whether I should even use it or sell it for something else. First off, would it increase my power bill? According to what I found, a UPS with around 95% efficiency wouldn't make too much of a...

Have a pretty high end rig, and am paranoid that it may burn out on me. Have had frequent power cuts when the load from appliances in my house has been too much for the circuit breaker, and thus the circuit would be broken and my PC would suddenly boot off. In addition, when I play R6, the PC...

I am looking forward to buy a PC that has a 600W power supply. I have a 500VA, 250W capacity UPS. If the capacity of the UPS is lower than the watts the power supply might use, is it safe to use this UPS, or should I get another one? Of course I don’t plan to game while running the PC on the...

I've tried swapping PSU, ones new and the others old, both seem to have the same problem. The EVGA (The newer PSU) provides a slightly longer play time before it completely shuts down. My temps are all fine. My drivers are all updated and everything is getting electricity. The only thing I can...

I feel kinda stupid for not actually researching this further before jumping on a purchase. I recently had a power outage that lasted no more than two literal seconds. My computer came out fine but my old junky server didn't. It was a PSU failure. Luckily, I had a spare. It was that night I...

From past few months I have started to face a lot of issue with my pc. It all started with my mouse led flickering when there is a power fluctuation. From there it went to issue with UPS No. 1 (further referred as microtek) which I changed to APC but it exhibited more or less the same issue...

Hello, Noticed a weird issue with my brand new APC Back UPS 1100va. When power goes off the PC goes into backup mode without any issue, but once mains power returns the UPS cuts off power for the outlets for a split second and my PC restarts. Why is this happening? Note: This happens only when...

Hi, Unfortunately where I live there are random power cuts that happen on rare occasions and last for a couple of minutes which used to shut my PC down instantly when it happens. I'm a very competitive person, so about 3 months ago I used some of my savings to buy a UPS that is powerful enough...

Hello, I am facing some issue with my UPS and PSU. Need some help here. Case 1: Whenever I do high load tasks like gaming and power cuts off my UPS goes into backup mode but my PC shuts down. Now when I try to power on the PC it doesn't respond which means PSU Protection Circuit was...

I have a Cyberpower 850 PFCLCD backing my PC and monitor. My PC+Monitor draws about 400watts max (and thats with synthetic loads maxing the CPU, RAM, and GPU. Gaming numbers are closer to 320 - checked with killawatt meter since I didn't trust the UPS display). My PSU is the EVGA SuperNova...

I haven't seen anyone discuss where the power supply is best plugged in. Based on some recent replies to my posts, Tom's is a VERY international website. The availability, consistency and quality of electrical service varies greatly around the world. I've been fortunate to always live in an area...

I plugged my CyberPower UPS after not using it for around 6 months. As soon as I plugged it (without turning it on), it buzzed and a little smoke came out so I directly unplugged it. Does this mean it’s dead?

Hello everyone! I just built my computer and now looking for its protection. Preferably a 1000W AVR as I cannot afford UPS (maybe soon) I have 650W True Rated PSU and as of now it’s directed to the wall outlet. My question is, do I need a Servo Type AVR or Relay Type will do? Also, with the...

Hey guys, I just built my PC and it worked fine for a day until it suddenly shuts off unexpectedly and wont turn on. And when I tried unplugging and plugging the plug, suddenly my room light went out. After that it can no longer turn on at all. The very next day, I got it into the repair shop...

Hello, everyone. I'm looking for a UPS that would be able to support my Gaming PC. Running a GTX 1070 and a i7-8700k. Experiencing frequent "brownouts" in my home, which last for maybe two seconds at the most, causing my PC to short out (no, it's not my PSU). I'm hoping this will solve the...

Today it was my first time experiencing power outage while my PC was running. I have a UPS and bought it just for this case but sadly it didn't run as expected. I thought power will come back shortly within 1-2 mins but it took almost 15 mins and I was playing Destiny 2 Crucible so I let my PC...

As far as I can tell I'm probably not posting this in the wrong place. My question is does anyone have experience with HP UPS, IE: HPE T1500VA this model is made by Eaton, and rebranded for HP enterprise. I'm wondering if it will work with a HP Z440 workstation with windows 10 pro. the very...

I wasn't sure if this was the correct place to ask this - but since the power supply has a bearing on the load capacity you pick for your UPS, I figured this was a good place to start. I currently have 3 UPS'. One of them is on my main system, the other 2 currently are not hooked up, but I...

Hello, I recently bought an Eaton 5E UPS. I plugged it and my PC to it and its noise is unbearable in my bedroom. Is it always going to be like that or only during the charging? In case it's always like that and I must replace it, what UPS from this list...

Sadly, my beefy pc from 9 years ago died thanks to an overloaded electrical circuit at my new location. I'm having a dedicated line brought in so that should not be an issue going forward. However, I need a new pc and I want an active or on-line ups to prevent this from happening again. The...

Don't know if this is the right place for this thread, there was no UPS section so I went with this category. So, I have a Microtek 650VA TP Pro 650+ UPS, and my system specs are on my profile. The problem is that, when the power is cut, the UPS works perfectly fine, right up until I try to...

Hi, It's just been 1 month since I bought my pc. It was for budget gaming and was running really good, but from the past week I'm seeing my pc keeps on restarting whenever I try to play pc games. If it's an AAA title straight after loading and if it's an Esports title then 5-8 minutes of...

I got a new PSU (EVGA Supernova 650 P2) a year or two ago to be able to power a GTX 1080. However, as far as I can tell, ever since then whenever a transformer explodes in my neighborhood (which happens rather often), my PC shuts off, even though it is connected to a CyberPower 1000AVR UPS. The...

Hi everyone! I got an old APC Back-UPS 650 BK650EI. I would like to connect it to one of my servers in order to shut them down if the battery is low. (If I'm able to get a battery in it). My problem is that the UPS has an RJ45 Ethernet port. Is it possible to use a USB to Ethernet adapter like...
