Ups which one?

AsRock · Mar 24, 2010

Out of these 2 which would you pick ?. Whats bothering me about one of them is the warranty section ( the more expensive one ).

0 years labor? LOL. Probably a typo.

900W sounds good

agreed. also get it because game pad. like processors you should only ever be in it for the case badge/freebies

DirectorC · Mar 24, 2010

Looks like those things die early frequently.

I would also go with the 900 Watt model.

AsRock · Mar 24, 2010

There is one more thing that bothers me and thats the sinewave were some say it don't work with all active PSU's and as seen as mine is active it's put a little red flag up.

Although there is reviews there some have had no issue with active psu's.

AsRock · Mar 27, 2010

Well went witht he CP1500AVRLCD hope it does it's job hehe. There was actually another one that court my eye too but was only 510w ( OP850 850VA ). And to have one of those in the 900w-1000w range was $320 +35 + postage.

Was tempted though getting the 510w one due to being able to change the high\low voltages.

newtekie1 · Mar 27, 2010

I've got the CP1500AVRLCD on my main rig, couldn't be happier, and haven't had an issue at all.

JayliN · Mar 27, 2010

I really like cyberpower myself. Been through APC->Geek Squad Brand-> Belkin-> cyberpower and I love cyberpower's software monitoring. The software is certified to work in windows 7 too. Tells me the exact power draw of the devices plugged into the battery backup outlets.

What kinda load \ time you get with it ?.

Hybrid_theory · Mar 27, 2010

You probably wont need that kind of power unless you want to a lot of uptime during a power outage. I have one that does 800w or something. the draw on it with my speakers turned on is like 350w. ive got a 750w psu, quad core, 4870x2. so not a light system by any means.

D007 · Mar 27, 2010

Running that system in your spces, I can't see you needing a 900 w psu.
My system is likely quite a bit more demanding 8 series gpu and all.
I run an 800 and no problems.

But be careful and don't buy a crappy brand that doesn't have a least 2 12v rails.
also make sure it is stable.
just because it says 900 w, it could really run more like 8 with massive fluctuations, which can actually cause problems.

I like OCZ so far.
I'm sure there's better out there though.

blkhogan · Mar 27, 2010

You do not want to get "cheap" with these. Get the best one you can afford. Cyberpower, Tripp-lite or APC are the ones I can personally recommend. Out of the three I would go with Cyberpower hands down.

He's looking for a UPS not a PSU. Its 900w to power his computer, monitor and any other devices he needs on a power outage. They also have very strong surge protection.

Idle my main rig pulls about 260w, yeah the hard drives add up, which gives me about 15 minutes of runtime. Which is more than enough since I have the computer shut down after 1 minute on battery power. Load is about 400w and runtime is about 8 minutes.

Sweet mines around 210w idle and 360 max. At a guess my HDTV is going add like 100w to that. Will see on monday

AsRock · Mar 30, 2010

I get 17m about not to bad and the HDTV only takes 70-80w which is not bad at all for a 40" screen @ 1920x1080. Their is how ever a 20w difference from the unit and the Zalman fan controller which is higher.

261w including TV and around 10m @ full load.

If your power supply has active PFC, your UPS must support this also. Without such support, the UPS will not switch to backup power, because each time it alarm overload. I had a problem with that. Only one out of five UPS in my job is working correctly with new computers.

Hockster · Mar 30, 2010

I'll only ever use APC. About three years ago my house was hit by a lightning strike. It surged the power lines so hard my UPS fried. APC's warranty covered the PSU, mobo, CPU, video card and RAID card that went with it. They even sent me boxes to send all the stuff to them and refunded the shipping costs. I only wish my insurance company was as smooth with the rest of the stuff that needed replacing.

FordGT90Concept · Mar 30, 2010

FYI, Cyberpower PowerPanel works with Serial Cable (RS-232) aswell (have to use it in Windows Vista/7 because the UPS service is no more

). Of course, it only knows the condition of the battery and if it is using AC or battery power. I don't use USB for the sake of KIS.

For shits and giggles, I pluged it in via USB. I have two 3-4 year old 1200AVR models.

System Spec computer @ 12.5% CPU load:
Remaining battery runtime: 25 minutes
UPS load: 172 watts

System Spec computer @ 100% CPU load:
Remaining battery runtime: 16 minutes
UPS load: 232 watts

Dual Xeon 5310 Server (6 HDDs, 8 sticks of DDR2 RAM, Radeon 5570 HD card, Enermax Revolution 85+ 850w) @ 100% CPU load:
Remaining battery runtime: 14 minutes
UPS load: 292 watts

Both computers have active PFC and both UPS batteries successfully shuts down their respective computers as it should after two minutes on charge. They have saved my bacon too many times to count.

Active PFC should not matter with the UPS, and will not affect the UPS switching to battery power. Active PFC is contained in the PSU, it does nothing to the outside AC line, and the UPS only cares about what is coming from the wall, it doesn't matter what is plugged into it.

arroyo · Mar 30, 2010

I think you have never seen this problem with Active PFC and UPS. In fact the compatibility between PSU and UPS is very important. You can even damage your hardware using wrong combination of UPS and PSU. Read this:

ROFL..

*sigh* ups... these are all the ups's that are in my study.

The ultra is my best ups at 2000va + AVR (active voltage regulation)..

I cant seem to overload the ultra on ANY of these psu's:

Then would come the APC, i feel tho that APC makes them better then cyberpower.

APC however has a funky high pitched hiss tho, so if that bothers ya, grab the cyberpower.

I heard the new APS that came out fixed this. So you might want to look at those with the black LCD screen.

My main system uses the ultra 2000va.
My gainestown uses the apc
My sammy uses the cyberpower
My LCD's are on the smaller cyberpower
My router and network stuff is sharing the same ups as my sammy.

Oh here is my super limited edition overclocked Cyberpower i7 UPS.

Need to read the manual on how to get the cpu to fit properly.

newtekie1 · Mar 30, 2010

I think I've got the same smaller CyberPower UPS running my server(Rig2) in my basement. :toast:

AzureOfTheSky · Mar 31, 2010

i prefer apc or triplite UPS's personally, they have given me better support and warr service(both have covered stuff that got blown a while back
