CyberPower 1500VA 900W PFC UPS Question.

Chris_R.

First, here is the link to Amazon. Is this a good deal?

 

Secondly, I need help. I have two computers and 3 monitors setup. My every day daily driver do everything work related and then some has a Corsair HX650 Watt PSU. You can find the link to the exact PSU Here. For my second system, I use it strictly for gaming. It has a Corsair HX750 Watt PSU. You can find the exact psu Here.

 

Both of these power supplies have active PFC / sine wave technology, and I know they will not work with UPS's equipped with synthetic sin wave emitters {or something like that}

 

So, would the UPS I linked be comparable with my two power supplies?

 

(Yes I realize technically that is too much load, but rarely do I have both systems on and under full load at the same time.)

Thanks!

What are the specs of your two system since you need an accurate value of the power consumption of each system and not just a PSU wattage.

 

As for the UPS it will work with both of those PSU's main thing with UPS is you should always use at the minimum stepped approximated or simulated sinewave where almost all PSU's theses days can handle. Most will work harder to have to correct for the variation in a stepped sinewave and be less efficient but won't have problems running off of it.

Well,

System 1. - Daily Driver (Originally Dell Inspiron 580) {from 2009}

i5 650 Dual core 4 threads.

It's got a smaller board maybe micro ATX. Generic foxxcon board.

Vision Tek Radeon R7 260X

SanDisk Ultra II 240 GB SSD.

10 GB of DDR3 Ram {yeah I know it's a odd #}

Corsair HX 650 Watt PSU.

It's got a few extra fans and LED's nothing too major I could imagine.

------

System 2 - Gaming System

i5 4670K stock clock speeds for now.

16GB DDR3 Ram 4 Physical modules

Asus Z97-A Motherboard

2x. Vision Tek R7 260X's {Plz don't I know, never again}

Corsair 240GB SSD

Corsair H-60 I believe cooler in push pull.

Corsair HX750Watt PSU.

About 3 fans other than cpu rad, and a few LED strips.

---

 

Now I know that this will likely exceed the rating on the UPS, but I only plan on plugging in the two systems and maybe one monitor into it. Like I said, Rarely are the two systems on pulling full load at the same time.

 

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I think you'll actually be ok with full load on both systems coming in around ~800W (not including peripherals and networking) so you should have no problems, while it will only have battery backup for a very short amount of time it will give you enough to save any work and shut down.
