Good evening!

I need some advice here...

I have heard that it's recomendable to have one with bigger capacity than the power source, but I'm not exactly sure about what I need so...

first pc:
600w

second pc
550w

Thank you for your time.

Risk is if your PC is using more power (wattage) then a UPS can supply then its a restart or BSOD (which kinda kills all the purpose of having a UPS in the first place)

I think some translation software has gone astray here; not sure what "no-brake" truly implies.

However, if you are purchasing a PSU then the PSU must equal or exceed (prefered) the total wattage required by all of the computer components being serviced - i.e., provided power.

The other consideration is that you are looking for a UPS (Universal Power Supply) that will provide power to both pc's if power is lost. There are online calculators to help identify a product that meets your requirements.

That all said, what does "no-brake" truly mean?

it's not software translation, I don't use that, probably I mispelled thanks to the websites in spanish... anyway!
"no break ups"? battery backup... not sure how you call it...

I'm going to get one for each since they are in different rooms.

yes, this makes more sense... so it's advisable to buy an ups with a capacity of 600w for my machines?
what's the risk of using one with less capacity?
 




It probably will not work!!!
