Ups Recommendations

Jigachad · June 13, 2022

I have a 850w psu (doesn’t consume the full 850w) in my pc and was wondering if there where any recommendations for what ups to get. Thanks

1. Calculate your current potential Wattage usage: https://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator - then pick the PSU wattage that fits your needs, or your expected needs in the future.

2. Pick the efficiency, i'm sure you've already known or atleast heard or seen it: Bronze, silver, gold, paltinum, titanium. The better, the more expensive and for the majority the better, the longer it lifespan is.

3. Pick some unique features you'd want to have, such as: modularity, quietness, small form factor, redundancy, more features would usually cost more.

4. At this point you have narrow your options by a lot, you can start picking brand, look at review, and look at the number of sales they have, not because of price only, but reputation as well.

I have tried, Zalman, Corsair, Seasonic, Thermaltake, Cooler Master. I personally would recommend Seasonic. I have't tried EVGA, but I've seen good reviews about it.
