I have the Cyberpower BR1000ELCD
3 months old - under warranty.
When the power goes out if the load on the UPS is small (< 350 W) everything is fine and keeps the PC along with 1 router, 1 modem and one monitor running. If I am gaming or mining the other 3 devices transfer to battery correctly and PC always restarts (but doesn't turn off). Mining total consumption from the wall is 470W. Gaming on a resource heavy game like GRW brings it to 500W. The UPS runtime chart which you can check on the link above claims that at 510W it gives 1 min of runtime. The LCD on the UPS wildy claims 4-5 mins under that load which of course is BS. I don't need 5 mins. The power drops for less than a second! I barely need it to stay on and not restart and disrupt my mining while I am away or not drop me out of a game for less than a second of power loss! And its advertised as a 600W UPS....
PSU is the Xilence Performance X 750W.
Now here come the questions:
1) If its a transfer time issue: This is the most common thing that comes up while googling for these scenarios. Cyberpower claims a typicall transfer time of 4ms. I cannot find any info on the hold up time of the PSU but it would be ridiculous if it was less than that right? Why when the load is low it transfers fine then? Does increasing the load also increase transfer times? (Doesn't make much sense to me)
2) If its simulated sine wave - Active PFC compatibility issuse: I am a bit confused by this. My PSU is Active PFC. Some people say it's fine for home PCs and pure sine wave is only a must for servers. Others say it is incompatible. Has me thinking if I sould buy something like the much more expensive CP1300EPFCLCD that is pure sine wave. Again, how does this explain that it works in low wattage conditions?
3) If its the PSU: Worst case scenario. I really don't want to have to replace the PSU.
Any thoughs/commments/suggestions?
