Q. My specs are
Ryzen 3600 non X chip
MSI b450 tomahawk max Mobo
MSI 1660 gaming X GPU
G.Skill 3200mhz DDR4 RAM
Corsair Vs550 550W PSU
Will this UPS give me about 5 min of power backup to shutdown my system when power is cut?
And is it sufficient to run my system properly when power is present?
Thanks
A.
It should give power backup of 2-3 minutes on power cut theoretically.
But, any system with a GPU is recommended to use a Smart-UPS because Backup-UPS has more current transfer time, as stated by the manufacturer. This high current transfer time may lead to a shutdown of the system immediately during a power cut. This sudden shutdown may lead to damage of sensitive PC components.
Q. Can I get 1 min back up with rtx 2070 super and i7 9700k ?
as I just want time for my pc to connect to inverter
A.
No.
It will most probably get shut down as soon as the electricity gets cut.
The CPU and GPU are both high-end and thus requires a good UPS to handle the voltage.
Any system with a high-end GPU is recommended to use a Smart-UPS because Backup-UPS has more current transfer time, as stated by the manufacturer. This high current transfer time may lead to a shutdown of the system immediately during a power cut. This sudden shutdown may lead to damage of sensitive PC components.
Q. if I only use a 650 watt power supply how much back up time i will get ?
A.
You will get around 3-5 minutes of backup.

Q. Can i have atleast 10 min backup with this ups?
My config -
Amd ryzen 3 3200g processor
Msi B450M PRO-VDH-MAX motherboard
Corsair 2400hz 4×2 gb Ram
Cooler master 550watt MWE smps
A. Yes, it should give around 10 minutes of backup.
Q. I have a 550w smps with amd ryzen 5 2600 nvidia 1660. Will a 600va ups sifficient for this system? What problem will I face?
A.
A 600VA UPS is insufficient for the 550W SMPS system.
If you go with 1100VA UPS then you may get back up time of 4-5 minutes.
