PC Peripherals UPS requirement for Seasonic 430 watts PSU

[saikatck]

Hi,

This question is specifically for people using seasonic PSUs. Could you please let me know which UPS (Brand and capacity) you were using with Seasonic PSU. I am presently using Seasonic SII 430. But it failed to work with Microtek and Sukam UPS inverters. Both are rated as 1100 VA. I can use all my home appliances with Sukam including a mixer & grinder but it always say overload when I connect to my computer. Sometimes the inverter does take the load but the inverter unit starts generating a knocking sound. Sukam Falcon plus is a 'pure sine wave' inverter.

My setup is pretty basic.

I5 Haswell
Asus H97ME
24GB RAM
1 SSD
1 M2
2 HDD.
3 Fans
NO GPU

I have already performed a system stability test with AIDA extreme in non ac environment. I ran it for 5 hours and everything was fine. No lockups and temperature was well within 60 degrees.


So, my question is if Is my PSU faulty or do I need a higher wattage UPS?

Requesting you to kindly reply.

Best regards
Saikat

Its hard to say. But you in all probability don't need a higher wattage UPS. I have a 600VA sukam UPS with a 300W PSU (which also runs a gpu ).

Your Load Wattage is 225w and your recommended PSU Wattage is 275w. So there is nothing wrong with your PSU. It is just not compatible with the other UPS's.

I have Seasonic M12II 620w and I am using APC UPS and its working superb. So go with APC 600VA UPS @ 2.2k
