need suggestion regarding ups for my friend :-

my friend is having this config :-

amd fx 6300
gigabyte ga 970a ds3p
sapphire r9 270x
antec vp 550p

so jyst want to ask whether 800 va ups will do the job or he need to buy 1 kva ups ?? the ups should be able to give atleast 3 to 4 minutes of backup under full load ( while gaming )

800va ups should suffice. choose apc one. if possible getting apc 1100va ups makes sense as there is only 1k difference in price.

he has limited budget....he is going for microtek or luminous one

he should worry more then. a good quality ups is absolutely necessary especially since he is going with an active pfc psu. i dont know how good is microteck/luminous, generally apc is considered much better and has really good after sale service.

active pfc psu means ?? he has antec v550p psu.......... ok i will tell him to invest on apc 800va but r u sure 800 va will provide adequate backup ...because my friend has almost same specs like 8320 proc , 4 gb ram , r9 270 x gpu and apc 600 va ups but when at full load while gamig his ups provides backup for only about 5 to 6 seconds.

- - - Updated - - -

also one more question.......can graphic cards be repaired ?? my friend has 5 month old graphic card which recently died because he didn,t have ups and when light went and came his graphic card didn,t start ...i mean the fans of gpu were moving but on monitor screen some green lines were showing and warranty center rejected that card ...they told him the card had rust.......

so if u know any shops in delhi where graphic cards can be repaired .???

Active PFC
The preferable type of PFC is Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC) since it provides more efficient power frequency. Because Active PFC uses a circuit to correct power factor, Active PFC is able to generate a theoretical power factor of over 95%. Active Power Factor Correction also markedly diminishes total harmonics, automatically corrects for AC input voltage, and is capable of a full range of input voltage. Since Active PFC is the more complex method of Power Factor Correction, it is more expensive to produce an Active PFC power supply.

fx 8320 consumes more power than a fx 6300. apc 600va ups provides around 360W power output while 800va ups provides 480W. since he is having fx 6300,so i guess the 800va ups would be enough. remember apc 1100va ups is just 1k above.

URGENT HELP NEEDED :(

Today i met with an information regarding pure sine wave ups required for active pfu power supply..............I have already bought Luminous Uno 1000 ups which has a simulated sine wave....and my power supply is Antec vp 550p which is active pfu power supply......so plz tell if this power supply is compatible with my ups or not ??

some upses are quite bad which outputs just square wave instead of a simulated/pure sine wave. they are really bad for active pfc psus.they costs less too.similarly some upses makes problem with active pfc psu even if they outputs a stepped sine wave. that is why apc upses are generally suggested here as they work well with active pfc psu. i dont know the quality of the ups you bought. so cant really comment.
