[SOLVED] Is 650VA ups enough for my system?

[ifkhanturan]

Hello good folks!
I wonder if my rig can survive 3-5mins at least during load shedding with a 650 va ups It's rainy season here so load shedding is the common thing around. I play games at highest possible settings.
My config
i5-9600k (stock)
Sapphire rx 5700 xt
850w gold antec psu
256 nvme ssd
1tb Toshiba hdd
Cryorig h7 quad lumi cooler
8×2 gb ram 2400mhz.

I just need the time to manually shut down my rig while gaming when power goes down immediately . And yeah I'll connect my monitor too to the ups.

It should be around 400-500watt at full load.

You should have 2-4 mins to get everything shutdown.

NO. A 650VA is limited to 300W. See the APC runtime chart -- https://www.apc.com/products/runtime_for_extendedruntime.cfm?upsfamily=29
You will get an overload error and immediate shutdown.
If you believe your PC is 500W then you need a 1000VA to 1500VA UPS. I recommend getting a used commercial UPS on E-Bay. Buy it without a battery then buy new batteries.

Thanks for the heads up.
