Especially when using one with an incompatible PC can damage your PC

Getting one for the tower PC seemed like a no-brainer.

when a thunderstorm blew in, the devices that I had in the same room that were plugged into cheap power strips were fine but my brand new gaming pc that I wasn't able to unplug in time was completely destroyed, there goes a thousand bucks!

It is supposed to protect my custom PC

So far so good, I connected this to protect my PC and it works great.

I bought this UPS in order to protect the new PC I built and it won't be doing it

I work from home and a techie co-worker recommended Cyberpower so that when I lose electricity my PC will continue to operate.

Cons:You can only connect one PC to be powered down when the battery gets low.

The device that's supposed to protect my PC from power failure does the opposite.

This saved me from having to crash my PC whenever the power went out

I plugged it in and charged it for hours, then in the middle of the first night a total failure, crashing my PC.

Software can be set with power limit to turn off your pc as well.

my PC didn't have any problems

And this kicked right in, allowing time to properly shut down our pain PC

So power outages are no fun and the constant flicker and shut off can kill your pc and anything you are working on.

The PC was missing one PCIe card slot cover also

I like that this ups protects my pc.

I just built a pretty expensive Gaming PC and one of the things that has scared me is one of these outages happening while I was using the PC
