Amazon's Basics line now makes uninterrupted power supplies. What are your thoughts? 

 

Amazon UK link

I'd like to see some reviews first.

I don't want this to fry my electronics....

 

 

Please quote or tag me @Void Master,so i can see your reply.

 

Everyone was a noob at the beginning, don't be discouraged by toxic trolls even if u lose 15 times in a row. Keep training and pushing yourself further and further, so u can show those sorry lots how it's done !

Be a supportive player, and make sure to reflect a good image of the game community you are a part of. 

Don't kick a player unless they willingly want to ruin your experience.

We are the gamer community, we should take care of each other !

According to the two reviews, it hums while charging. Is that normal for a  UPS? Seems kinda strange to me.

From what I've seen, Amazon Basics isn't a Dollar store brand, and some of their things aren't that bad. But I would be weary with things like UPSs...

I have a CyberPower 1500VA UPS and it does not hum.

Depends on the UPS - some of the better ones are quieter when in operation, but most of them make some kind of noise when draining or charging.

 

Whether that's a problem would depend on how loud the hum is. Considering it should only ever have to charge after a power outage, I can't imagine it would be a big problem.

The transformers inside usually have a hum when they first energize, but that should go away after a few seconds. Generally once the magnetic field inside the transformer stabilizes and/or the transformer warms up. The hum is low (literally 60hz) so it's not like the 6000-15000hz coil whine you get from PSUs or graphics cards.
