please help
I want to buy a new ups ..
but my friend said, must to buy ups that have pure sine wave
when using the usual ups can damage the psu is, is that correct?

This is my rig :)

Intel core i3 3.7Ghz Oced with Xigmatek Aegir Dual Fan
Asrock H55 Extreme3
Team Elite 2x2GB PC10600
1x Seagate 500GB Sata2, 1xWD Green 1Tb
1x Asus DVDRW
Zotac Geforce GTX560 AMP!
Seasonic X560
4x FAN 12CM LED, 1x Enermax Apolish Vegas 12CM Blue


I want to buy new UPS Laplace Phasor 1250Va :ange:
 
Xbit labs' review of the Seasonic X-560 (SS-560KM) showed that it didn’t work well with their APC SmartUPS SC 620. The UPS would shut down when switching to the batteries even at a load of 300 watts.

The APC Smart-UPS SC 620VA has a Waveform Type of Stepped approximation to a sine wave (a.k.a. simulated sine wave).

Since the UPS Laplace Phasor 1250 VA's Output Waveform (Battery Mode) is a Simulated Sine Wave there is a high probability that you may run into this problem if you you were to purchase this UPS.

whether there are ups that use simulated sine wave could work with my psu?
I choose the type of simulated ups because the price is very friendly
Please help me, thank you before :)
 

There is no problem with the UPS itself.

The problem lies with how the Seasonic X-560 (SS-560KM) deals with a simulated sine wave. It's because it doesn't know how to deal with a simulated sine wave is why a UPS that outputs a simulated sine wave will shut down when switching over to battery power. The only solution is a UPS that outputs a pure sine wave when on battery power or change the power supply unit to one that deal with a simulated sine wave.

Xbit labs' review also tested the X-660 (SS-660KM) and X-760 (SS-760KM) at that same time. These two models worked fine with the APC Smart-UPS SC 620VA.

The only reasonably priced pure sine wave UPS, if it's available where you live, is the:

CyberPower CP1350PFCLCD UPS 1350VA / 810W PFC compatible Pure sine wave
was: $199.99
You Save: $43.00
$156.99
