Works great in an unstable power grid. PC remains on when lights flicker and shut off.
This is my first time trying a UPS from Goldenmate. We have an unstable power grid so a UPS is a must for me. My other UPS died after 5 years and this is what I purchased(It was a cyberpower UPS, unrelated to the pc building company). It’s for a gaming PC with an RTX 3070 and ryzen 9 5900x. This UPS is 800w, under heavy gaming the load is only 450w max, so I haven’t had any issues. There was a very small break-in period where the unit smelled, I'm assuming it was the battery running for the first time. It went away very quickly. Similarly, the first few days there was a very quiet, high pitched whine when the unit was under load, it sounded like a fan. This went away and it's whisper quiet now. It's not that I'm used to it either, at the time of the review I muted my computer and listened and I can't hear a thing.It's been several months now, we have an unstable power grid and there are lots of lightning strikes which cause the lights to flicker and get actual outages from time to time. Since getting this new UPS the PC has maintained 100% up-time when it's on. It's not ALWAYS on, but when it is, it has remained stable during blackouts and brownouts. When the unit detects the power drop there is an audible but quiet beep. I gave myself enough headroom with wattage so I don't even come close to maxing out the units capabilities.For a reasonably powerful gaming PC that was stable for years before owning this UPS, this is great. I now realize that my older, now dead UPS, would sometimes fail the brownouts and not kick in, in time. I haven't had this issue with this new Goldenmate unit.Ver másVer menos
