Power Conditioner/Filters

[Clintos]

 

So after watching this video I was shocked to see that after Linus plugs his PC into what looks like to be an active ups/power station his computer stability was much better especially when overclocked. Wondering what unit he is using in the video but also if things like power conditioners/power filters etc can help without buying a UPS.

If your area is prone to brownouts, then power conditioners/AVR devices would help keep your system stable during a brownout. In more established/stable areas, it's not as necessary, and a simple surge protector could do as a solid and cheaper baseline of protection. If you want overkill, then a good UPS with surge protection and AVR would be the best of all worlds.

I use one of these:

 

Monster Power® HDP 1800 Power line conditioner and surge suppressor at Crutchfield

 

I have my PC, soundbar, sub, and TV plugged into it.
