Which UPS to buy for my configuration?

[whitestar_999]

if those batteries can fit inside APS then there should be no issues but you have to take your ups to local technician & doing so will void the warranty i think.better ask APC customer care about this.better option would be to just sell APC(2 days old so should get good price) & HP ups batteries.

It will certainly void warranty which is 2 years so no need to poke with anything now.
Thanks [MENTION=126812]whitestar_999[/MENTION] I never thought of selling the both the APC UPS and HP UPS.In a month I will get sufficient money and sell these off and get a APC 1100VA UPS @ 5400.

even if u are getting 2 mins backup that means 600VA is doing its job. but if u want to game with ups, u need a bigger battery.

apparently computer ups dont come with such bigger battery options, unless u r pro enough to connect a car battery / inverter battery of same voltage rating to ups.

ups is there for u to comfortably save the work before power goes off. if u want constant supply, consider home inverter.

Thanks for your suggestion [MENTION=44484]icebags[/MENTION] but I just need to save my settings while playing any games that's all I want. So will go with APC 1100VA UPS later next month by selling of both the APC and HP UPS.

[MENTION=44484]icebags[/MENTION],that is for moderate load but he said no backup when gaming.it means at that time his system power load is more than what 600VA ups can provide(since it is brand new it definitely is power load).

post 17 i think he said 2 mins backup while gaming. 600VA means the ups is qualified for lets say 200V with 3Amps AC line load or 2.72Amps @ 220V.

600VA itself doesn't say anything about battery backup. but 600 VA is well above 300W load qualification.

he just needs big batteries, which es expected with 1100VA ups.

[MENTION=44484]icebags[/MENTION],i guess you missed this somehow:

My APC 600VA is not giving any backup while gaming and while normal browsing its giving 2 mins backup.

This is a new APC 600VA UPS bought just 2 days ago for 2.1k at CTC,Secunderabad.
While playing skyrim it is not giving any backup.

hmmm i misread.

if a new ups is giving 2 mins backup when idle, then the ups has something wrong. cause i get ~3-5 mins backup for my overclocked c2d and a higher power hungry card from local smartpower 600va ups while playing bf3 or bf4.

send it for rma.

My HP 800VA used to give me 5 mins backup while using Core 2 Duo + GTX9800 + 4GB + Viewsonic 19" + Cooler Master 600 watts SMPS but when I bought this new PC in 2013 which is Core i3 4130 + GTX650Ti Boost + 8GB + Corsair TX860M + Dell ST2220L Monitor the new APC 600VA UPS is not at all giving any backup while gaming as its load capacity is 360watts while my actual load is 438 watts. So I need a APC 1100VA UPS or APC 800VA UPS at most.

Will using a lower power PSU like Corsair CS450M have any effect on the backup or load capacity of my new APC 600VA UPS. Will it give backup while gaming if I decrease my PSU wattage.

 

[whitestar_999]

^^using lower power PSU will not reduce your actual system load.the only difference,compared to a higher power PSU,will be that a lower power PSU will be more loaded/taxed.

How is this UPS? Anybody knows this or used it? My total system wattage is 463w including the 22" monitor.

This CyberPower BackUP BU 1000 UPS is 1k cheaper than APC 1100VA.
Should I go with this? Please suggest...

Then why does my system shut down immediately if I am gaming and power goes off? I hardly get 10 seconds backup while gaming.
Why so?

Then APC 1100VA is a better option.
But you have already bought APC 600VA, so why dont you check yourself if there is any such problem.
While gaming, switch off the mains and see if the UPS is able to backup. If you get 1-2 mins then its enough for shutting down you PC safely.
But I dont even get 1 min backup while gaming.
