Every PC Gamer Should Have This

In a 3rd world country like USA you really need these. In first world only businesses and servers need em

Just choose a country where you don't have Power Flickering or outages like Germany. :-D

Or, hear me out: You live in Germany, where power outages are basically unheard of

I remember one of our internet providers gave us one for free for signing up. Thing was great. My brother got it in the move and now I want one for myself again.

Hello Community,
If the electricity goes out the ups goes in accu mode but does it go automatically in the normal mode when the electricity is restored ? So if in the night the electricity goes out for a couple of seconds and the ups switches to accu mode does it automatically switch to normal mode at the time when the electricity is restored?

Nice guy

Don't need it.

When the company I was working for recently went bankrupt I was able to buy their "old" UPS for 50€. A UPS which is more than 1200€ new. I am currently using it for my PC, two displays and a freezer and lasts a little more than 1h of gaming.

im just wrong for not having money

how much?

Yea but wi-fi is mostly connected to WiFi tower that goes out if the power flickers or wents out

I live in a first world country, so power outages happens every few years.

Also worth mentioning that the internal batteries on these need to be replaced every 3-4 years. (Usually Sealed lead acid, like a car battery). It's not terribly expensive but neglecting to replace them can be.

No one tells you it's got a consumable until your power lasts 35 seconds at 100%.

No

This is ridiculous, most power supplies have a built in surge protector nowadays, you don’t have a server rack you have a gaming pc it isn’t tens or thousands of equipment and terabytes and terabyte of files

How have I managed 24 years without one?

i dont need one i live in denmark witch has a 99.99 % stable power grid with is more or less protechet agianst all disasters in denmark so unless i lightning hits the transformer station we are secure and even that cut the powergrid but has protechen so it reatches no houses with the lightning on the grid

My entire home in on one huge backup inverter system.... still got surge protectors and buying another when i finish building my gaming pc

Surge protector is all you need unless you need to backup something, most games have decent auto save so a PSU isn’t necessary for gaming at all really outside of creative games maybe but these are for productivity like offices.

I live in iraq and the black outs here are very frequent so a UPS is a MUST for your PC or internet router

It's probably a good idea here too. But I think it's way more of a problem in the US than it is here in Europe. At least here in Denmark things like brown-outs are such a rare occurence I don't really consider it. And the few times it has happened I have just turned the computer on again and everything has been fine. I've had a lot more problems due to user error (myself cutting the power) than electric faults. And in that case the surge protector wouldn't really do much.

Just make sure you don't put too many things on a UPS as they are limited in wattage (aka VA or Volt Amps). Preferred that the wattage of the devices consume no more than 50% of the utilization. Also never put a laser printer or high powered appliance on a UPS.

And I have a gaming laptop

What 3rd world country do you live in?

Ups + surge protector= UNLIMITED POWAAAAAAAA

fellow third world country gamers who have been using this forever where yall attt!!!

If I have 750watt psu, which ups I should buy?
Please tell me, I'm a newbie

In my country we don't use ups solutions we use inverters with deep cycle batteries.

Hell yeah that’s a great idea! 💡 😀👍🏼

because of how power hungry PC now, probably the best PSU is the one using Truck battery

once my pc fried bc i didnt installed ups, even tho ive had this, the problem that i didnt thought that thunder is gonna strike like 50 meters from me, so now i use my ups, but just incase now im turning off pc on thunderstorm anyway...

Joel from Rooster 🐔 Teeth 🦷 has entered the chat…

99.9% of people don't need this.

Ppl in Pakistan and other India💀💀

Once I started working in IT I realized how important a UPS was. I have the exact model of the picture you posted. It even has a nice feature that will gracefully shutdown the PC when a power outage occurs (or if the battery is low) so you will be fine if you’re downloading a game overnight or something like that.

laptops get this as a benefit of having a normal battery and external power brick

I used to go through psu's once every year or two. Surge supressor didn't help. Got a UPS and never had another psu problem. Considering they are about the same price as a good psu, it was well worth it.

if you have to buy surge protection just move country

I got a Cyberpower UPS for Christmas, but it's only rated for 1000 watts. My PC's PSU is rated for 1200 watts. What do I do?

Mission unclear: I now own 20% of UPS

YOUR PSU ALREADY CAN DO THIS things !
They are called protections. and mostly of the psu are ready for shit like this

or just have solar panels

Learned that an UPS was essential when I was in the army. I was a commo soldier and I had two UPS for my signal equipment.

We have never ever had an outage as my city has underground power lines a surge protector is plenty for me

is ok use only surge protector? here where I live battery backup are expensive

The other option is to spend 80k on a generator for the whole house

Can you demonstrate how you install it do I need to buy 2 or just one 'cause one is upstairs in my room and the other one is in the garage in the power supply for a Wi-Fi

Konocktivity

I think its a little excessive to have an uninterrupted power supply

I prefer to buy from APC and Cyberpower btw
