My "PCE 850 VA UPS Max Series" started beeping fast today when the electricity went off and I was stress testing my overclocked VGA card.
So I'm guessing, other than the fact that its battery is 1.5 years old, the UPS is not enough for my system which is an old one (Core 2 Duo Wolfdale E8200 2.66GHz overclocked to 3.16GHz, 6GB RAM, NVidia GTX 550Ti overclocked from 951MHz to 1000MHz, etc...)
I am planning on purchasing a new UPS instead of just paying money to get a new 9VA battery for my existing UPS.
But, the thing is, I want to make sure the UPS I buy will be enough to handle a new system, later on, with (Skylake/Kaby Lake 3.2GHz, GTX 970, SSD + WD 1TB Black Edition, 16GB RAM and quite a few fans - perhaps around 4 to 6 fans - as I will get a new case with top and bottom fans as well).
The questions:
- Isn't 600W (as noted on PCandParts` website) a bit to low for a 1500VA UPS ?
- Will the "PCE UPS M8 1500VA" with 2 x 7VA batteries be enough for such a new system ? I will use my existing 850VA UPS to power the LCD monitor separately.
- What power supply wattage should I get for the new system with specs/parts similar to the ones I mentioned above if I plan on overclocking it a bit ?
