What type of UPS backup power does evga recommend to use with it's power supplies? Looking at getting this one below. I have read it's better to have a PFC SineWave UPS. CyberPower CP1000PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS 1000VA 600W PFC Compatible Mini-Tower https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00429N192 I own EVGA SuperNOVA 750 P2 PSU.

I have no idea what evga would suggest, but my suggestion is the tesla power wall, 14kWh https://www.tesla.com/powerwallIt may be a little expensive to start, but you could run your computer for months on end with no issue, lol. No seriously, I don't know anything about battery backups. I know $7k would be a little rough for computer power. I will be watching this thread to see how it goes with other users that have experience.

Done a ton of research on the subject, and I also came to the same brand and lineup. Except I'm looking to get the 1500VA version. Just need to pull the trigger.

Only a tad bit extreme for a UPS.

APC batteries have not held up in past units, so I decided to try Cyberpower this time After reading many tech articles, I've decided not to settle and use True Sine wave UPS - hope to get longer life from the PSUs in Rig 1&2 in my signature CP1500PFCLCD PR1500LCDRT2U shop around and find a good sale - Amazon prime free shipping was nice as these are heavy

I have used smaller UPS like this one in the past. Now i'm debating on getting a UPS or put that money towards a new 24-27" 1440p gsync monitor.

When I bought my ROG 27" 2K monitor I was amazed at the smoooooothness and game enhancement I received for my money
If I were you I would put your money into a 144mhz 27" 2K monitor You wont regret it Just dont buy the 1080P not much of any difference make sure it's the 2K version Best of luck in making your decision Regards, Rick

Cool GTXAPC batteries have not held up in past units, so I decided to try Cyberpower this time After reading many tech articles, I've decided not to settle and use True Sine wave UPS - hope to get longer life from the PSUs in Rig 1&2 in my signature CP1500PFCLCD I own that model. Bought it in 2012 and it is still using the original batteries with reasonable holdup time & passing the self-checks. I would strongly recommend Cyberpower's true-sinewave stuff. Had too many issues with APC batts lasting 3 years or less. For the most recent APC UPS I bought even the battery original to the unit was bulging and nearly impossible to remove when the APC self-test failed three years in.
Have water, will cool.
