Good UPS?

[Opencircuit74]

Hello,

 

I've been experiencing a lot of power outages recently (for 15 seconds or so) and hate having to cut out in the middle of a game because the power went out. Therefore, I am looking for a UPS with a battery. If you have any recommendations, it would be appreciated.

When sizing a UPS we need to know what your computer specs are and what you will be running off of it so we don't recommend one with to low of a wattage.

I Personally like APC and CyberPower units myself.

Yea sorry. I have a GTX 970 with a Ryzen 5 1400 OCd to 3.9. Probably pulls 250-350 watts total.

Yeah, for a solid budget UPS, cyber power has pretty solid bang for the buck.

Though size the battery up to how much of a runtime you desire.

It looks really good, but I only need the UPS to be rated for a few mins, as long as it is high quality. I can always rig a lead acid if I need more time.

With 510W actual output rating also 850VA model would handle transfer to battery without getting overloaded.

That watt rating is the important number which actually tells anything about output power.

Many UPSes are sold with useless VA rating and have bad PF making them basically marketing scams.

All the places I've worked have used APC UPSs, so that's what I'd recommend.

I'm going to have to go with the Cyberpower, as it supplies the amount of power that I am likely to pull. Thanks for all of the info.
