HI
 
With regards to UPS, stepped approximation/adaptive/simulated/pure sine wave , what is compatible with the Supernova 1000w G2 PSU ?
Couldn't find a definitive answer online, lots of 'should be fine'. I would be looking for a UPS that auto shutdowns my PC after 5 minutes on battery backup if that is relevant.
 
Thanks

    Cyberpower, APC, Liteon pick one.  All current models are compatible.

    I've had APC, and Cyberpower. In my experience with those two, the Cyberpower's battery lasts a lot longer than APC's battery. Just a little info there from experience. Cyberpower is very good. So that's my recommendation. Hope that helps.

    So are you both saying that power delivery type isn't relevant? The research i've done says that some power supplies will not work simulated/stepped/approximated PSU.

    lukep11,
     
    I'm in a similar position, and would like to get a UPS for my PC. I live in a national park area-read up a bloody mountain, and the mains electricity can be a bit meh especially during the winter here. I am not sure what to go for re. stepped or true/pure sine wave output models. From what I have read up on this online:
     
    Most modern power supplies have active Power Factor correction. Active PFC and stepped sine wave UPS' do not work well together, it can cause issues switching over to battery operation-immediately shutting down instead etc. From what I can see the EVGA 80+ Platinum PSU's have PFC, not sure if its active or passive; I have a 100W G2, which is 80+ Gold-not sure if it has PFC or not..can't find any info on same. 
     
    It would be great if someone from EVGA could confirm-UPS' with a true sine wave output are  substantially more expensive, especially if you want a better known brand e.g. APC.

    I have a 1200 P2 connected to a CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD, and it's been a very reliable unit.

    I've actually used it for over three years now, and I've even gone so far as to add three more of them to power my home theater and network components. I was originally using it with a Corsair AX1200, and it replaced an APC SUA750 when I discovered that that one didn't have enough overhead to comfortably power two GTX 570s in SLI.
     
    The only downside I've found is that the display (when showing the power draw, in wattage) acts a little wonky when it's paired up with the EVGA power supply and the PC is sitting idle. Not sure if the display is accurate or not-- the wattage jumps all over the place, which it didn't do with the Corsair-- but it doesn't seem to affect anything, and it shows a normal reading when the PC is under full load. Leaving the display off makes it a non-issue, unless you're completely OCD about these sorts of things. Everything's documented here, if you feel like poring over it:

    So far it's had no trouble keeping the PC running when the power has dipped, surged, or dropped out completely. The batteries have held up well, too (unlike the batteries in the APC unit). I've never used the included software, though, if that matters. I just use the power settings in the Windows control panel, but I've honestly never had the power go out when I wasn't at home and had to rely on the PC shutting itself down when the battery got low.
