it consumes power to keep the lead-acid battery charged, just straight up disconnecting it essentially emulates a power outage, so you want to turn it off before unplugging it. but with it turned off i doubt it's consuming any worthwhile power.

i mean.. my power supplies defenately dont sound happy while running off the UPSes, but i havent had any issues.

i run all my active pfc power supplies off stepped approximation UPS'es, and i havent had issues.
 
having that said, make sure you buy a ups with a 24 volt battery, it's a huge boost to runtime and battery lifespan over the ones with just a 12 volt battery.
(the 24 volt ones have two batteries in series)

From just that, it sounds like you'd be much happier with something like the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD. 1500VA, Pure Sine Wave, good software. I picked it up for roughly $220 on Newegg. 
 
If you're in the US, that's the model number. It varies a bit between regions. 

Thanks, I'll try it.

Perhaps it's a dumb thought of mine, but you can't simply bring the device to the store and show the port to the clerk? If the staff is half decent, they will help you find the right one.

It was just a bit of exageration, ahah!
Anyway, no Noctua for me. I've got a ThermalRight Assassin King 120 SE for 20$, shipped at my door.
I never imagined that my old cooler could be so bad, I bought it following the high amount of good reviews.

I wish to thank everyone for the help, every comment here gave me a precious piece of info that helped me choose the new cooler. 👍
Thanks a whole lot! 🤩

i probably already said it, but you never should have to pay more than 100, and even that is overkill in most cases,  on the contrary, often the stock cooler is more than enough, especially for AMD. 
 
It might be annoying and whiny, but it's still good enough so nothing overheats as long case cooling is ok'ish ~

The cooler arrived one day earlier, yay! 😍
As promised here are the results: 15 C° less under heavy load! 🤯 Really heavy load, 3D animation renders.
Now, instead of reaching 94C° in about one minute, the temp doesn't go over 79,5C° in hours of heavy tasks.
This brand is really nice, the cooler is easy to install (even easier than the one that used the AMD stock clip), it came with a super silent 1550 RPM fan and a nice tube of TF-4 thermal paste (enough for three applications as I can see, a really good amount!). Also, the paste seems to be really high quality, it's really thick and firm and really easy to spread.
 
Again, thanks everybody for the tips, they helped me a lot! 👍

Sure thing! 👍
Wednesday I should receive both the cooler and the Arctic MX-6 I ordered.

I took all the measurements carefully and I'm pretty sure that the Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE I just bought form Amazon should fit no problems.
I'll try sitting it on the chip without "installing" and closing the upper lid. My case has the MoBo on horizontal and the case opens like a jewerly box, so I can do that easily. The cooler is 148MM and the max on my case is 150MM... Considering one millimeter of error in both directions, there should be no issues. Otherwise, the awesome Return Policy will allow me to send the cooler back and get another model in just a couple of days.
My MoBo is a Gigabyte B450M DS3H, it has a so tiny heatsink for VRMs that will never hit the cooler.
The only concern for now are the RAMs, I have a Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x16 kit. They aren't colossal as I saw in other systems but their heatsink is a bit tall.
Any other element around the socket is quite short... so considering the distance form the contact plate and the fins, everything should fit nicely.
To return to the main topic, I noticed that Thermalright doesn't give any values for the supposed TPDs of their products. Maybe they are more honest than others about that? 😆
I found in another web page, where they did some testing and review, that the Assassin King 120 SE got a 260w TPD but I really don't know how they got that value. 🙃 This time I got the cooler just byt size of the fins stack, double of the cooler I have now and number of heatpipes, one more than now... Let's see if I get double the heat dissipation, ahahah! 🤣

I have a pretty big case but I found that as long as I made sure that the height of the cooler wasn't too much, the cooler would....No, wait, that's not correct, because coolers are 3D.

So, actually, I got suggestions on appropriate coolers, then:
I eliminated those that were too tall. Then I looked at whether they'd clear my RAM and VRM stack. Then I made sure they wouldn't overhang my RAM and M2 slots because I do NOT like removing a cooler to add stuff. Honestly, I don't even like opening the back of the case because the kraken inside always tries to consume me! Oh well...Battle wounds are sexy, right? But, hey, it turns out my mobo is a bit goofy, so I also had to make sure that the cooler didn't sit so low that it would collide with nearby and surprisingly important stuff like, oh, the capacitors around the socket and, well, I don't know the names for everything - do you think I'm an engineer? 😉  Suffice it to say I had to take a lot of measurements, which caused me to eliminate the mighty D15. Once I got done comparing the specs of the remaining coolers (don't ask, I'm not going to look for my notes in the aether), the U12A was the obvious choice. Then again, I hadn't been given many suggestions because, well, people on Tom's Hardware are grumpier than here?!? =*GASP*= (Don't quote me!) I think they managed to scrape together 6 suggestions for me, and I added one or two more. When I say comparing specs, I looked at the number of heatpipes, whether they were direct contact or not, the dimensions (obv.) which often weren't stated so I had to actually magnify specs and measure them to get estimates - very annoying, and a bunch of other stuff, which helped me because, you know, more is sometimes better except when it's not. 😉 When all was said and done, the U12A was the ONLY choice left. Just as  a note, I think I gave some of the TH people anxiety. There was one guy who kept harassing me by saying that I worry too much. 😄

One more thing to keep in mind is RAM clearance, make sure your RAM can fit either beside or under whatever cooler it is
But thats a good cooler for a great price, just £15!

@ImagoOk, @Mark Kaine and I have reached an agreement. Get a different cooler before applying for an RMA.

definitely prefer the redux and the rubber thingies that come with the far more expensive beige ones are honestly negligible. 
 
i mean, it just looks cool? 
 

 
 
 

Ok, thanks for the advice! 😄 I'll look for a different cooler then. I'm pretty sure the chip is good, I give it pretty big loads (I do 3D animations)
I think it's a quite obvious question now: Any advice on which brand I should focus? Someone here said that Noctua is just "less noisy" than better than others.
I didn't imagine my descriptions were so bad, english isn't my native language and surely there is some weirdness in my phrasing. I apologize to everyone for the confusion!

Two degrees less than usual and about 50 seconds to be back to initial 40C° instead of a full minute, so the case isn't the cause of those temps.
I'm 100% sure about the cooler's installation and pasting, so there are two cases:
1) the CPU isn't a 65W (or 88W as some say) but more like 200W.
2) the cooler isn't a real 140W
Even if the CPU were 105W the cooler should be able to cool down the chip.

Hello everyone! 👋
This isn't a question, it's more a "what do you think" thing...
I have in my PC a R7 5700G which is quite toasty, it easily almost reach 90 C° in no time and it takes some minutes to go back to 40C° idle.
I know that's a 65W TDP chip while my cooler is rated for 140W TDP with MX-4 applied on it... In theory it should be a bit overkill keeping my CPU fresher than that.
Now, if I buy a 260W TDP CPU cooler (one of those colossal tower 18 CMs tall, 2 Kgs, eight heatpipes, three fans monsters) I still have same temps?
It's almost the double TDP of my cooler but my cooler is already more than double of TDP of the CPU. This makes me doubt a lot of the stated TDPs values on products. 🤔
