I recently bought a Seasonic S12II - 520 Bronze power supply. I have a luminous 800VA double battery UPS for my computer. Ever since installing the new PSU(Earlier I had a CM 600 wtt PSU), The backup from my UPS has gone down to less than 10 seconds.
My PC config is :- Gigabyte B75-d3H Mobo, core i5 2310, 4GB RAM, 7850 1gb Graphic card, CM k380 cabinet, NZXT Sentry 2 fan controller with 3 fans installed.

I never had such problem before. I used to get around 20 to 30 minutes of backup when i had the cooler master 600 wtt Power supply. I have checked the seasonic power supply on my friend's PC & UPS, Same thing happened.
Should I get a replacement for my power supply or do I need to buy a Bigger UPS ??
 
800VA ups for 500 watt power supply is not good it will happen when you play games or do cpu , gpu intensive work.Also offline ups are not good no matter how much VA you install it will exhaust quickly depending on the type of work and how much old is your UPS.
