and console plugged it, either powered on or powered off, any ideas?
Are you asking if you should keep the console in stand-by mode when you're not using it? Vs turning it completely off/unplugging it from UPS?
If so, it depends on your use case and how you generally use hardware.
E.g i don't use stand-by modes or PC sleep modes at all. When i'm done using my PC, i turn it off, completely. This way, there's 0 power draw and when blackout should happen when i'm sleeping, UPS won't blare off, notifying me of power outage, since it needs to keep hardware operational in stand-by mode.
The BIOS on AMD mobos usually require to be up to date, since AMDs are not very good friends with PCIE cards that are not GPUs
When initially building the PC, it is advised to update BIOS on AMD chipsets, since otherwise, either the CPU flat-out doesn't work (if new CPU with old chipset) or RAM XMP doesn't hold. Ryzen CPUs are capricious when it comes to RAM XMP. But once you get your system running fine, there's no need to update the BIOS.
PCI-E add-on cards, especially driverless ones, are iffy. They can or can not work, regardless the BIOS version or chipset in that matter. And their sporadic work can affect both Intel and AMD systems. So, better to buy good quality/reputable brand PCI-E add-on card, rather than some no-name, cheap add-on card from AliExpress.
For example, cp1600 costs like 315~ with shipping included, while the cheapest APC 2200va model cost 395~ without shipping, so, cp1600 for some reason have a real lengthy deliver dates while the more expensive APC 2200va does not and that makes me wonder if it's worth the wait or get CP instead.
That depends on how willing are you to use "inferior" product over better one.
Go read the APC vs CyberPower comparison again that i wrote earlier and decide if you are happy with APC or would you rather use CyberPower. Delivery time is minor in your case, since you've been without UPS thus far and longer delivery time for CyberPower UPS shouldn't matter. That is, unless you know for a fact that some autumn storms are coming and you absolutely need UPS backup before CyberPower UPS is expected to arrive.
I, personally, am willing to pay premium and also wait for longer, to get the specific product for my needs. Vs paying less and getting faster the inferior product that i'm not completely satisfied with.
E.g my AverMedia Ballista Trinity GS315 2.1 speakers that i have;
After extensive research, i decided to get these speakers and they were locally available as well (delivery time within 24h and €0 shipping cost). Sadly, at that time, i didn't have funds to buy them. Came next month and once i had funds to buy them, they were already out of stock. Searched far and wide and found them on amazon.com. So, bought them from amazon, but that meant i had to pay ~50% markup for shipping + delivery took 2 weeks (they were shipped from USA to Europe).
Now, i could've bought some other 2.1 speakers that were available locally, like inferior AverMedia Ballista Duality GS313 or AverMedia Ballista Unity GS310, but i don't like to use inferior products, especially when i can have the product that matches my desires.
For many people, getting cheap and fast products is good enough. Quality, reliability, durability doesn't matter, as long as it is cheap and arrives fast.
But there are people out there, who value good quality products and are willing to wait for longer and/or pay more for a good product. I'm the latter one. Which one are you?
