You should get the lab to measure the changeover transient on UPSs to evaluate how truly uninterruptible they are.

I'm a gamer and I've an APC Back-UPS Pro 1500 S with pure sinewave output. When I first moved to where I currently live the power would blink out for half of a second to 3 seconds several times during certain hours of the day. Needless to say, trying to do rendering work with my 3950X and 2080 required a UPS that would give me at least 5 minutes to avoid interrupting an 8 hour task or to save any work that had been completed in the event of actual power outages. I also got 3 smaller UPS for all the other sensitive devices, like the consoles, cable box, modem, router, TV, sound system, etc. An UPS is absolutely worth the money considering that we had to replace the cable box five times in two years before we plugged it in to a UPS.

The standby power consumption would be a great metric to talk about

[michaelhubbard]

Mirroring other comments here, please do more UPS comparisons. I'm sure the Lab is planning on it more than likely, but it knowing the in and outs of various models would be nice.

Already have a 1500VA UPS, it keeps my 3080 and 12700k running at full speed, along with an alienware OLED, for like 8 minutes lol. It's enough for me to save my game and close it comfortably, and if I'm just browsing the web I get around an hour of use.

Pro tip: Get a small UPS for your router and modem for when the power flickers. So annoying to have the internet drop and wait until the router reboots.
Been running a ups since my first build. Its an essential part of any modern station.

[jpjapers]

I actually really do want a UPS because storage integrity is a worry without one and id love some UPS comparison review content. Demo how long they last with different setups, how good their software is etc.

[XxZannexX]

As a UPS owner. A use case I didn’t think about initially, but found really useful. Is having your router/modem connected to it in the event of a power outage. All battery powered devices can stay connected. My USP can keep it going for a couple of hours.

I love seeing the nerdforge pc pop up in other ltt videos. It still looks awesome. Has anyone ever mentioned how the thermals are on that thing?

[LuizFeReis]

Yes, more UPS videos please, it's always difficult to choose one

[hannazakiy]

2:08 please i want to hear "or you DON'T NEED to save or wrap up everything, just hibernate your pc, when power comes back, turn it on again and you'll instantly back to business"

i barely see anyone using this feature, it's very useful even on laptops (when your battery is dead)

That wireless display is the main thing that got my attention. Also, what made me buy a power supply was having to deal with two power outages in a month, as normally when one happened I considered buying one, but as they were not that common I ended up not doing so. Also, one of them being caused by a storm made me justify the reason for buying one to be able to give a bit of charge to my devices.

One of the first things I bought when the pandemic hit. Working from home I knew it would be very important and didnt want disrupted. Even helps keeps internet powered when power goes out.

[LordZareth]

I bought a UPS last year and its very nice to have. Don't get too many power outages but you'll be happy to have a UPS when it does happen.

0:30 As someone who absolutely hates the sound and touch of any type of foam, I really appreciate that note, thank you editor!

[hyperturbotechnomike]

I think it's usefulness depends on location. I do have an UPS for my servers, which i use for work, but not for the desktop PC's, because the last time i had an outtake was over 10 years ago. The infrastructure here is very well maintained.

[joost]

I would love to see a follow up about UPSses and what safety features one has and how they work.
For example, what happens if you have a short circuit? Does it blow a fuse/trigger a circuit breaker, or can you ensure your pc is properly fried?

[brentsmithline]

This is a great solution. Have always used either Tripp Lite, or APC UPS units since the 1990's on my home network devices.

Both manufacturers have solutions for home, and mainly enterprise.

[kshitijvarshney]

I bought a 2KVA Elnova UPS when I built my machine with 850watt psu. I'm glad I did. It takes 2 external batteries and gives around 2.5-3 hours of light load and more than an hour under full load.

[trevorbeingtrevor]

Labs testing UPSs would be incredible, last time I was in the market it was pretty hard to discern if any of them would actually be worth the cost
