Imagine having such a shitty electrical infrastructure/climate that this is a legitimate concern to you

I got one when I was living with my mom. My bedroom and her room were on the same circuit and she would constantly flip the breaker by running a bunch of shit like space heaters on it

Lightning is arcing through the fucking air, you think your dumb consumer grade equipment is going to switch or burn out fast enough to stop it from continuing? Read a book

Is it worth getting anything other than a online UPS?

>100 dollar ups
lmao what fantasy land do you live in retard? unless you mean one of those chinese wun hung lo brand power supplies that output 50% of mains power for 30 seconds

imagine pretending you're immune to any and all electrical issues because it's never happened to you before.

Seriously, if you think sometimes shit doesn't just happen, or someone fucks up at the power company and you get a voltage spike or something, why not have a $100-200 piece of equipment that is designed specifically to prevent these issues from affecting your expensive ass computer gear?

If you're rocking $500 trash tier computer, don't bother.

But if you've got multiple $1000+ components in your computer, or multiple $1000+ monitors on your desk. You're fucking retarded for not spending $100 on a precautionary measure.

APC units go on sale all the time, you can get a very good unit for $100 if you don't need 20+ minute up time in a power outage.

That specific unit does not cost 100 dollars.

Keep being retarded, third worlder.

Also to the rest of you monkeys, you need to keep replacing the battery which is extra costs on top of it. It's not some buy once and forget solution you retards.

No shit, it's $160 on amazon, I also said $100-200, but you conveniently left that part out to make your argument seem more valid.

Here, this one is $114 on amazon.

>you need to keep replacing the battery
yeah once every 5+ years.

Also if you're not a retard with electronics you can just replace it with a marine battery that'll last longer than whatever battery it comes with.

Third worlder cope

I don't give a shit about your APC shilling, the quote said 100. I don't need UPS because I don't live in a shithole. Keep coping with your pajeet tier infrastructure.

nigga, it didn't.

>Sounds like you're the poorfag if you can't even afford a $100-200 UPS

Oh look, it specifically says
>$100-200 UPS

again, fuck off with your bullshit "arguments" if you have to warp the quotes to "win" you're not actually making a good argument at all.

Fuck off back to plebbit you retarded shill, holy shit.

Wait, what's the issue? It's a surge protector, so it protects against power surges, keeping your equipment safe right?

>is somebody on Jow Forums autistic?
the answer is always yes

>retarded shill
You're the one misquoting and trying to make an argument that has no basis in reality.

You can pick up cyberpower if you want.

Stepping up to $150 gets you pure sinewave instead of simulated.
And $250k instead of $150k of coverage.

We're not going to buy your products, you can fuck off already.

1st world countries have surge protection built into the municipal power grid.
Lightning protection even is mandatory or you won't get fire insurance.
UPS is required for 3rd worlders only.

So now I work for cyberpower too?

Wow I must get paid a lot if i'm not only working for APC, but Cyberpower as well.

Hot damn.

Go ahead and list every country you consider "first world"

I doubt you'll get more than a dozen that meet your "requirements"

Germany

>DSL in half the country worse than most of the developed world

>first world

oof, you must be mistaken.

You're right about the lightning thing, but your house electrical system should protect against it. And if your house wasnt up to modern code then your insurance company will give you the run around for as long as possible and you'll have to sue, which will be expensive and long. There's no good protection against lightning besides a properly grounded home that can handle it

If you're not a marketer then you're just a retard looking for validation for your purchase in which case the same advice applies, FUCK OFF BACK TO PLEBBIT.

The only guy I've ever known how had lightning damage his PC violated the national electricity code. Extension cord from his house to a large metal pump in the garden, circumventing the lightning conductor. It simply doesn't happen in a properly wired building.

>the caliphate of germanistan
>first world

Fucking yikes and brownpilled.

>until they find some act of god clause in your insurance and oh you weren't paying for the my power company is garbage coverage, so you're shit out of luck.
I'm still amazed that americans think that public health should be covered by insurance fraud companies, but with PCs, it's not worth it.

My local electrical company reimburse any damaged electric/electronic device that's affected by any power issue

If you don't know the laws regulating health insurance or the terms of your health insurance plan and get screwed over by it, then you're retarded.
Also 90% of electronics "insurance" plans are scams. Kill yourself

You described like 20% of houses in America. The vast majority are ancient rotting wooden corpses that have been jerry rigged enough that an underbribed inspector gives it a pass

And the americans still think they don't live in a third world shithole.

You're the one coping with shitty infrastructure and insurance, buddy.

Sure thing

Considering everything else they've got, they're obviously first world.

Housing alone is not what makes a country first world

Do you have health insurance? You're being scammed? Do you have auto insurance? You're being scammed. Home? Life? All scams, the fact of the matter is that insurance as a whole is a scam. The jews won and made it so that people think paying money for precautionary protection is sensible. What's more, companies support this by hiking the cost of everything up by ridiculous amounts, making it near impossible to get by without insurance. They pocket 90% of the revenue they make and the moment something bad actually happens, they're stingy and uncooperative.

I have that exact UPS but bought it before it was labeled as gaming. It's strong and powers my computer for 40 minutes under full load. Never have outages or surges anyway. Still neat for doing electrical work without having to turn off the computer.

I've had ups blow up and kill shit
You can't win

I used one of these with my old pc and now it won’t turn on without it

Get you a double-conversion unit. These run your electronics on inverted DC power 24/7 so there is literally zero interruption in outage/surge events.
>amazon.com/dp/B009ACPBCQ/ref=emc_b_5_t?th=1

If you're running a home server or two, I would 100% second this suggestion unironically.

I've got my media server, encoding server, and pfsense router all in my rack, I've got a used rack mounted APC UPS but it's not a double conversion unit sadly.

I use an APC Back-UPS 550. I did have to replace the battery inside after years of use not that long ago but that's normal and was simple to replace. I still need to find a damn place to recycle the old one though I keep forgetting to do that.

There is no need to own something like this. A cheap one is going to have poor power management and delivery and is as likely to be a source of electrical damage as it is to be preservation from it. Buy a decent surge protector instead. If you want to be serious about it, either wire-in in-line surge protection at the socket or breaker itself, or pay for an electrician to do it.

UPS are for people doing work that needs to be save in the event of power failure, not for people playing games. I would not recommend this to someone who isn't using gaming as their business.

Cheap UPS is more likely to kill your equipment than a decent surge protector.

faster power is actually a thing
my street just got its power changed and now the lights turn on a fraction faster.

Drop it off at an auto-parts store.

I live in a first world country so there's really no need for it here.

Well the nearest place that call2recycle says is my local Home Depot, which I honestly hardly ever need to go to and pretty far, so that's partly why I forget to do it.

Why do I need one of these if my house has a built in surge protector

Ups is fucking snake oil. Unless your power goes out a ton and you have critical tasks.
Witness this duped fool

you're an idiot

You have thousands of dollars/euros in electrical stuff in your home.. Fridge, freezer, washing machine, boiler, lights, TV, stereo. I bet you don't protect any of that, do you?

Your chink UPS isn't going to protect anything from a direct lightning hit on your house. It protects from sudden power loss, that's it.

I don't live in a 3rd world country with bad electric infrastructure.

Just had two Cyberpower UPS die on me within a month. Never again.

What brands should I look out for?

APC

A ZeroSurge filter for protection + any sine wave UPS that has enough watts for not bricking your shit with unexpected shut downs

Most everyone has $10~30 surge protectors on most of their electronics and the smart ones have whole house protectors on their power-meter or breaker box.

The surge protection on an ups is no better than the kind that's in a power stripe.

>too stupid to replace the battery
>stupidly allows the battery to be fully drained
>doesn't know APC re-brands Cyberpower for their cheapo ups'es

kek

Sure but a surge protector isn't going to do jack shit if your power company delivers inconsistent voltage like mine.

Goes from ~100v-140v and occasionally down to 80-90v
This will destroy sensitive electionics.

Surge suppression is just an added bonus for a UPS

>24/7 fan noise

Commiefornia?

A lighting strike doesn't have to be direct to fuck up your shit. A surge protect reduces the target area that lighting has to hit to rape your shit.

Fine print: Plug in any power stripes or extension cords and it null and void

They never pay

I replaced the battery already from another one I had. Something else is fucked with it. And I've never let it completely drain either. It says the battery is full but even with a 50w load it turns off after a couple seconds.

>It's not some buy once and forget solution you retards.

Buy a LiFePO4 battery replacement and it will last for decades.

Yeah I have a feeling getting any reimbursement is probably even harder than getting money from Kryptonite if your bike gets stolen.

I had a surge take out a PSU, a hard drive, motherboard and 20 years of cherished, hoarded pornography and pictures I couldn't replace.

So I bought a $100 surge protector and haven't had any issues since. It's been a > decade now, I still use the fucking thing.

>What are meth heads stealing copper
Legalize meth and sell it cheaply. No more meth heads stealing copper, or at least fewer of them.

>not for people playing games
There are tons of people with bricked systems because the power shut off in the middle of an update.

>Cheap UPS is more likely to kill your equipment than a decent surge protector.
Stop pulling shit out of your ass.

It's called lower inductance

Does the fan spin?

Whole home protection is supposed to work with outlet surge protectors as they have a higher let through voltage.

I run a UPS on my server. I sleep far better knowing that if my power goes out/flickers that it will keep my server running/shut it down safely if it needs to. If a large enough surge does fry it, well I've got backups. Also chances are good the surge will have also fried other more important shit in the house other than a ups and server.

your UPS doesn't magically stabilize your AC line. Your electronics are getting 80-140v straight through the UPS

It's one of these. It has no fan. The Sinewave versions I have still work but I think I'll replace those too now that I have a rack. Got a Eaton 9px for $60 off of craigslist to start.
