Hello everybody,
I have a computer:
Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4Ghz
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Thermaltake armor a60 mid tower case with 3 fans one of them LED.
Nvidia GTX 460 1 GB
This computer is connected to a 1000VA UPS, im not sure how much the PC consumes but I think the power supply is thermaltake 600W.
My issue lies here:
When the electricity goes off and Im playing a game with heavy graphics, the UPS can't keep my PC on for 1 sec, it immediately shuts off. However when Im just surfing the web, the UPS can keep my PC running for 15 min.
What am I missing here ? If the power supply of the PC is 600W it shouldnt consume more than that right ? Do I need to get even a bigger UPS ?
I appreciate your feedback
