Question Replacing Highpower Psu with A Quality one?

[bikemanI7]

Hello

Have a Ibuypower Ready Build with the following components

LIan Li Lancool 216 Argb
MSI Pro B650 VC Wifi
Ryzen 7 7700x
Radeon 7800Xt Oc 16gb
Samsung NVMe 990 evo plus 1tb Boot
Samsung 990 Pro 1tb Game NVMe
Samsung 860 Evo Sata Extra Storage
750 watt High Power
Windows 11 Pro 26100.3037

Thinking Maybe Corasir 750 watt, as my UPS only supports up to 810 watts

Corsair have a number of PSU's in their portfolio with 750W advertised on their PSU's side/sticker. Which one are we looking at?

750 watt High Power
As for this unit...what is the make and model of the unit?

wattage wise you'll be good with a 750W unit. Just make sure you look into a reliably built unit.

Just an FYI, if the prebuilt is yet to be purchased, then you can shoehorn the PSU into the build prior to checkout but if you've already purchased the system you might be voiding your warranty by tampering with the specs of the build. Might want to run that by Cyberpower and see if it's the case. If not, good. If so, you might want to hold off buying another PSU.

Already purchased, been in use since July 2024

I'll have to look for specific specs of it during next dust cleaning, as right now can't see the specs thru side glass panel or bottom mesh

Battlefield 2042 game for once didn't hard crash last night thankfully

So may have fixed that issue not sure yet

Just remember if you ever run a Corsair PSU at the full rated power output of 750W (highly unlikely) it will draw approximately 825W from the mains, assuming the efficiency is 90%. If the PSU's efficiency is a bit lower, it might draw 850W for 750W out.

Another thing to check is the VA versus Watt rating of your UPS. If really is 850W, I'd expect the VA rating to be somewhere around 1500VA.

As an example, this Cyber Power SL700U is rated at 700VA/370W. OK for a small (non gaming) computer system. It might last 5 minutes at full power output, maybe less.

Replacement Battery was exact model APC site said to purchase for the device, unforuately OEM one wasn't available, so grabbed compatible model off Amazon. In the brief outages have had since replacing it, its seemed to work fine though


I normally don't run at Full Power for too long, perhaps when doing battlefield 2042 gaming, or occasional video encoding, though i don't do that too often at all.

Bought this UPS battery backup when my old one died back in 2018 after moving to newer place, so picked this one out, replaced battery one time thus far

Desktop is higher spec though than my older PC that was originally using the UPS

Realizes i never calibrated the battery in the UPS after replacing battery while i was using the Intel 10700 System or even ran it on battery a bit that often, guess i should soon

So guess i'm probably gonna have less runtime if the power does ever go out based on the newer system specs, and such.
