Hello,
I am looking into getting a Pure Sine Wave UPS for my gaming rig, and I read some good reviews for the CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD.
Some issues keep bothering me before placing an order though:
1. Is this UPS Pure Sinewave? Looking at this page: https://www.criticalpowersupplies.c...ups/CyberPower-Intelligent-LCD-PFC-1500VA-UPS It says the UPS is Pure Sinewave in the Features and Benefits section, but in the Product Description it says Adaptive Sinewave. Anyone care to shed some light on this? This review: CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD - Enthusiast Power Protection: Four-Way 900 W UPS Roundup states ' the CP1500PFCLCD is also the only unit that has not fully replaced step-wave with pure-sine-wave circuitry, instead opting for a modified triangular wave that CyberPower calls “Adaptive Sinewaveâ€'
2. I read that UPS's lose some wattage due to efficiency. Will this loss from efficiency negatively impact my system? I'm cutting it quite close with a 600W PSU, so I need to be sure that the efficiency loss will still provide enough power for my system. I record while gaming, so my usage is quite high.
My specs are:
i7-4790 Haswell
GTX 980Ti 6GB RAM
32 GB RAM
256 GB SSD (for OS and some games)
4TB 7200 HDD (for storage)
3TB 7200 HDD (for recording onto)
600W PSU 80+
DVD Drive
Using a PSU calculator it says my wattage is 550W, so that's why I said I'm cutting it close with a 600W PSU.
3. About efficiency and Pure Sinewave, do these factors only apply when its on battery power, or also when drawing from AC power?
4. Will this UPS be enough for my needs? I plan to use this for my PC (600W) and a HD TV (290W), just to provide enough time to safely shutdown. Usually I will only have the PC on the UPS, (so I don't stress it with an extra 300W from the TV) but if the power goes out I'll need to connect the TV to it to be able to safely shutdown (and see what I'm doing lol).
Thank you for any help in advance.
