Psychor Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 There is a lot of misinformation out there in regard to true sine vs. simulated sine wave UPS and how they behave with PFC active/passive PSUs. The only solid thing I've gathered from reading up on the subject is that when you're dealing with anything but a pure sine wave the PSU efficiency will drop. I'm ok with that since I plan to only use the battery to shut down my system. That being said I'm hoping the tech guys at Corsair can step up and give me a thumbs up or down on my question. Question: Assuming I'm using a HX1000 and a 3 step sine wave UPS (we're not talking about a pure square wave UPS which I would never use) do I run the risk of damaging the PSU when it's powered via the UPS battery (3 step sine wave)? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee RAM GUY Posted November 6, 2008 Corsair Employee Share Posted November 6, 2008 The backup UPS will not damage the PSU in any way. The only thing to be aware of is that the PSU may mildly buzz/whine when running on battery power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
