![]() For a UPS you should sum your monitor, speakers, modem and anything else you consider crutial to your set-up and want to connect to it (so you can calculate consumption and # of outputs). Like Linus Torvalds build (check LTT video on it): he goes for double his top consumption given the parts chosen. The rationale is like choosing a PSU: you don´t want to fit tight in its capacity, but have a fairly amount of space. So if you system consumes 500W (NOT YOUR PSU SPECS, but your actual components consumption), you should look for a UPS with at least 600W. You should calculate your system top load in watts take that times 1.2 (for a 20% increase) at least. The problem is partially that lightning is already an arc, so even an open switch may not protect. A ups does both surge and brownout protection. A UPS is probably as good as can be gotten on a consumer level though. ![]() Lightning protecting a PC is hard and so expensive it’s often an eneterprise only thing. You can do pure surge suppression with just a power strip though basically nothing is faster than lightning including power strips or UPSes. Maybe you got away with it maybe you didn’t and it only looks like it for now. So i def wanna find something that will protect it and keep it running even through the flickers and surges.Įw. I had to shut it down by the switch on the power supply, the Reset and power off buttons weren't responding. ![]() But mostly to protect the computer from any power surges or flickers or anything like that.ĭuring the last storm, the lights flickers, didn't think anything of it, but when I came back to my pc the monitors where off, flans at full power, like the whole computer was going crazy or something. Have my network switch and a few other devices at my workstation, would like to keep those running for a couple minutes also if I can. ![]()
