Purple_Cheetah 11/30/19 12:56:56 AM #8:	cardoor123 posted... Don't cheapen out on the power supply next time. Lesson learned Seeing this reminded me of a review once. While it's not quite the same thing it's definitely a glimpse into the mind of some that do cheap out. The review was for one of those small power strip style UPS' with a very low mAh, think it was literally intended for network gear only. It was under 60 or so bucks iirc. Guy bought it and complained it was a complete rip off and how he should sue the company because he put his 4000 dollar beast of a gaming pc (his literal words) and it kept cutting out because it couldn't provide enough power and might have damaged the PC. You'd think if you're gonna blow all that money on a pc, you'd feed it with an actual modest UPS and not one literally meant for a router/modem and maybe a tv for a few mins. <cite>Purple_Cheetah posted [p:930895491] in lovely... ...

I use a UPS now to just help smooth it out now that I have a decent rig. Are you sure it is smoother? Those are meant for power outages I thought. A surge is a bit different. Everyone should have a surge protector. And also, the UPS's are generators I think. I wondering what kind of sinewave they put out.

And also, the UPS's are generators I think. I wondering what kind of sinewave they put out. I never thought about that until now. I'm not an expert on this but my understanding was if you have potentially irregular electricity, the artificial sinewave generated by a decent UPS will help reduce risk of issues with your PSU. It's not really an issue for me but just something I remember reading and thought may as well invest in protecting my $5k desktop and prevent data corruption if power suddenly goes out. --- If you can understand this, I'm 2/cosC for you. <cite>gloBal enemy posted [p:930899267] in lovely... ...

I think what you wanted was a surge protector. Unless you experience a lot of power outages. And as for the sine wave thing. It's hard to find a good Pure Sine Wave generator, or converter..which is what this is. So I would imagine, they are not putting out a pure sine wave. idk...
