PCP&C-1 brownouts-0

[TheLonelySwedish]

2 nights ago MA had some crappy ice/snow with a lot of wind, and my power dropped, 4 times in under 30 seconds. everything in my house went out completely and then turned back on really quick; my the TV's, family computer, you name it-- except for my comp. I now understand why I paid more for my psu than my processor. Never again shall I use a shitty psu after this PSU's godlike performance. TY to all on this board who kiss PCP&P's ass 24/7, you motivated me to spend the dough, and I understand why it's worth it now.

well guess that means your fair game for me to brow beat you about getting a UPS
it is a great supply, but its still not a substitute

damn that deal was a steal too bad i missed it. pcp&c 510sli/belkin 1200va here.

PCP&C 510W + Belkin 900VA =

Please correct me if I'm wrong:

900VA = 900 * 0.7 = 630W
PSU = 510W
630W - 510W = 120W

Now, would 120W on the UPS be enough to handle a 17"-20" monitor? My 17" CRT is rated as 0.9A @ 240V. This certainly translates to more than 120W, does it not?

So, would not a 900VA UPS be inadequate for the PCP&C 510 + Monitor?

Thanks.

i'm pretty sure your math is right, but it's unlikely that all 510watts are actually being used on the power supply. i'd say in a good rig, 300 is more likely so it should leave enough power for the monitor.

Lol Ice Czar, you're never going to let me upgrade my actual components with all the money I end up spending on power stuff.

 

[Ice Czar]

well luckilly a UPS is a true infrastructure investment
that is up till you exceed its capacity
