Need help getting an UPS for my rig?
Hey everyone, I need some advice on getting a solid UPS for my rig.
I have an i7 9700k, an RTX 2060, 16GB RAM, a cooler master liquid cooler, a 500W Cougar 80 certificate, and currently use the Fanshine FSUPS700 (around 360W).
I bought it about six years ago, but I didn’t have that setup back then.
Now, whenever I play games or render, my PC shuts down or restarts, which shows my UPS isn’t handling it well.
I’m considering two options: the one from AyoubComputers and another from Bestone.
Which one should I go with for my gaming setup? At least it shouldn’t fail during games or power outages.
I really don't like either option because it doesn't cost much more than the replacement battery, so the quality isn't great. Usually, a pure sine wave UPS is recommended, but you won't find one near the price you're considering. Technically, your computer should work with it, though. Your power supply is 500 watts, but it's unlikely you'll be using that full capacity. What's really the issue? Does it seem like you're overloading it? I'm not sure if your computer will handle more than 360 watts. Have you ever changed the battery in a UPS before? Most last only 3 to 5 years, especially with frequent power outages, which often shortens their life. It's common to discover the battery is failing because the UPS shuts down immediately.
thank u for ur reply , well basically when im not doing anything just browsing when power cuts happens pc doesnt restart , but underloaed when im playing or something , pc shuts down when power cut happen underload immediatly, the ups is 6 years ago , i changed the battery like a year ago i just saw those 2 ups cuz the one i have is 360w , and those are 480w
