it depends on the load on cpu+gpu. normally it may not go 350W+ though. i cant really say, but i hope. the apc model br1000g will show the actual realtime power consumption but is much costlier.

hey! I was thinking of changing my stock CPU cooler to something else. I have a SPEC 03 case which has a CPU Cooler clearance of 157mm so I don't think the CM 212 will fit. Also, I can't overclock so the 212 is overkill anyway.
Which one of these are better?
1. Deep Cool Gammaxx 300
2. CM TX3 EVO

Bumping an old thread again. How is the Cyber Power BU1000 UPS? My 800VA UPS just shuts down with my 7970 GPU. Will this be able to support it?

PS - I swapped the card out and put in a friend's 7770 and that works fine with my current UPS so i don't think my PSU is responsible there.

Downgraded to an ASUS Strix GTX 960. Still the same frikkin problem with the 800VA UPS. Anyone knows where I can find one of those Kill-a-Watt meter kind of thing?

Is it worth the price?

Somehow, I now feel that my Seasonic M12II PSU is responsible for not being able to cope with my UPS. With a GTX 960, the power consumption cannot exceed 250W for the entire system. The Seasonic is 80 plus bronze specified so even if I take 80% efficiency, the consumption from the socket should be 250/0.8 = 312.5 Watts. Add another 35W for the monitor so I am still under 350W. An APC 800 VA should be able to handle at least 800 x 0.6 = 480 Watts. This does not make any sense at all. There are three possibilities to this -
1. Incompatibility between my UPS and PSU
2. UPS is not able to handle upto 480W.
3. PSU is not 80% efficient.

Should I call it a day and get the APC 1100VA instead? If my PSU turns out to be a dud, I'll be pretty calm about it.. You know.. :twisted:

Get the cheaper CyberPower BU-1000-IN @ 4k rather than APC 1100VA @ 5.6k

I am using a APC UPS. I got random UPS trip at the moment of powercut. Call APC, run the self diagonistics with their engineer. Fully charging the UPS and Proper earthing solved my case

Thanks. I'll keep this into consideration. Is there anyone on this forum who's using a CyberPower UPS? Would like to talk to him first.

Ah haan. Sadly, I've had this talk with the APC rep earlier and he blamed me for using a GPU with an 800 VA UPS. Wanted me to get at least a 1500VA.. Will give it a shot once again, maybe. Don't you think an 800VA should suffice for my config?

800VA should suffice, IMO. 1.1KVA is the safer bet
