ups is a lifesaver when u have unstable electricity where if I turn on 2 AC and someone uses the washing machine the electricity just can't get enough power and the switch automatically shutdown the electricity so in my case having a ups is a must because of this situation
100% agree, Maski medyo stable yung power sa lugar namin, I still UPS. You never know when magpower outage or magpower surge/fluctuations or mag trip yung breaker coz may gumamit ng heavy load na appliance/s. Specially now adays mostly SSD, medyo maselan sa power outage. Buy the biggest capacity UPS you can afford,, much better if it's output type is pure-sine wave.
It's hard to use UPS because of maintenance and it costs. The following problem of using UPS 1) when should I replace the battery if its empty? 2) How do i know if the battery is empty? 3) You have to recharge ( there is already a problem when and how to recharge ) and replace ( what to replace the whole unit of UPS or the battery?) ..Using a UPS is complicated and it need attention for maintenance. While using an AVR ..no problem, no need for maintenance to recharge just plug it and play.. no headache .At totoo din talaga malakas kumain ng kuryente ang UPS. Gumamit na lang ng ibang device kagaya ng Surge Protector at AVR. May bago ngayon AVR na may Surge Protector. UPS is the worst device I'd ever owned.

I argue that activation key is nice to have. It's really unnecessary purchase. About that annoying message, you can weak some settings for it to not pop-up. There are lots of tutorials about it. Speakers are nice to have, but not required. Headphones are REQUIRED. Quite a few monitors don't have speakers, and when they do, they suck a ton.
AVR is extremely useful if the voltage you're getting from the wall undershoots or overshoots frequently, Your PSU only supplies power to your PC, what about your display? speakers? My display would " restart " multiple times a day and I could hear pops from my speakers, and sometimes from my headphones which is drawing power from my PC ( I have a PSU with all the existing protections listed on it ) yet I could still hear pops in my headphones sometimes. Having an AVR eliminates all of those issues. It's better to be safe than sorry and an AVR doesn't cost much. So I'd definitely recommend getting an AVR unless you're absolutely sure that you're getting the right amount of voltage from the wall (220-240 or 100-127). Oh boy I'm not even going to talk about the speakers... like what is wrong with you? Do you hate quality sounds or sounds in general? Audio is just as important as visuals... Your brother's plastic speakers have almost zero capabilities of reproducing natural sounds... or clear sounds at over 60% volume. An EQ'd Edifier R1280T should be the bare minimum.
I dont agree with the speakers. While some monitors do come with speaker, most monitors I've used don't have any speakers. They usually have a speaker output, not not speakers. I usually plug my speakers into the monitor just in case I want to plug in something else, like a gaming console, I don't have to figure out how to get sound out of the console. One thing about speakers is that, a nice set of speakers will last you a long time. I've had my Klipsch speakers for over 10 years and still going strong. What I do think is optional is a set of headphones, since headphones will wear out eventually, while speakers can pretty much be immortal (assuming you dont abuse them), and will last you many many PC builds. I've gone through 3 different builds and still use the same speakers, yet, I've replaced my monitor multiple times. lol
Been using UPS since 2006 for my PC, since i live in a shitty country with a lot unstable electricity (SEA btw). That things is a live safer, also ctrl+S did the work but you never knew the time electricity going blackout
coming from a fellow technician in Scarborough, ON Canada, good video. However, in the antivirus segment, you should have mentioned at least it was needed before Windows 10. I stopped installing AV for clients since release of Win 10.
as an experienced graphic artist, that "reflexive" Ctrl+S shouldn't be done. When using Photoshop or Illustrator just activate the auto-save function. If in case you are ctrl+s then a power interrruption occurs, your file will be corrupted.
I think for AVRs its usually needed if you have a generic psu and a low end mobo(basic cheap mobo) because these don't have enough surge protections like the ones found in the branded ones and mid to higher end mobos and these are based on my xp.
Why buy a generic PSU then? Might as well spend the money you used for the AVR and generic PSU into buying a better PSU. There are better PSU's out there between 2.5k to 3k (600w-650w) only that will power your low to mid end builds for years and years (5-10 year warranty depending on brand) instead of the generic PSU with AVR setup
@@pkpnyt4711 Simple because not everyone can afford it. A generic psu can be had for less than 1k and is usually coupled with the generic case and this is generally enough for low end budget systems cuz i have one myself and it lasted for 5yrs+ and a generic AVR is dirt cheap and will only cost you around P250 hehe
I recently bought a PC ryzen 5600 with rx 5700 xt with LUX 750w PSU. I have my old secure AVR here and a mitsushi t04 power surge protector. I was skeptical at using a secure avr now. Can I use my pc on a power surge protector without avr? Or should I keep using both? I can buy a good avr 2 months for now though. I was also thinking of buying a panther surge protector. Also my area is the black out capital of ph and a lot of fluctuations.
Never NOT run upc !!! Back up power is life saving grace. 😊 buy one small or large. I have small ups on my TV and router modem combo. And big one on my desktop. It's so nice bc power flickers = I'm not down I'm working thru it like nothing happened
RGB that's the bait to new in PC Building. Pinaka mainam for me is AVR lalo nat not always but most of the time mat pumutok na mga (transformer whatever) kuryente dito sa Navotas.
what i STRONGLY DISAGREE is the speakers/headphones.. Everyone needs it specially normal human beings 🤣.. 95% of all monitors doesn't have any speakers..
Learned the hard way that I need an AVR. I noticed my mobo just dies within 6 months without using an AVR. But with an AVR, it lasts many years. I believe the electricity in our home is unstable. The ones I dont really need are RGB lights from fans or from a gaming mouse.
maybe my secure AVR is the main suspect on my fm2 mobo since our electricity is also unstable. I my avr plugged in and when I woke up a day after my mobo is done.
I'm I.T myself. Do not buy cheap AVR's from shoppee usually mga 200-300 yun lol di effective maraming fake. Dko alam kung bakit ayaw nya i recommend ang AVR yan ang pinagka malaking joke na napanood ko ngayon lol.. If you have large space and money buy UPS. Pero kung plano mo everyday papatayin mo yung UPS to save electricity wag ka na bumili kasi mabilis yun maka drain ng battery health. Kaya for protection buy AVR na orig.
for me hindi na talaga ako bibili ng UPS since habit ko na ang mag ctrl+s everytime, for AVR naman hindi nadin ko bumili kasi mas okay yung pa Surge Protector, mas mahal lang sya compare sa AVR pero mas okay sya, marami pa syang socket.
kung hindi ka naman gamer, or even casual gamer lang na mas madalas sa fone naggegame, you dont need the following: discrete graphics card, mechanical keyboard, gaming mouse, RGB lighting, game controller, gaming mouse pad, gaming chair, all sorts of water cooling, and many more marketing gimmicks.

Hello sir bago lang poh ako sa pc kaka bili ko lang at gusto ko bumili ng gpu anong compitable na gpu sa cpu na amd A8 7680 na ddr3 light gamer poh ako at video editor for my vlog
just to add, ung fancy fans na mahal, AIOs may be nice to have but are extra.. antisag acc, shining shimmering rams and super expensive cases that are purely aesthetic.. all have cheaper budget friendly counterparts.. but i personally have ups for my pc, nadali nako once ng kidlat, gpu kopa natamaan.. better safe than sorry.😅
Anything with RGB and a gamer tag mas sobrang mahal. Sa RAM lang, they add 1k for the non-RGB vs RGB version. Sa AIOs, you can get a cheap 240 RAD for more or less 2k only . So it's just a matter of buying the cheap one. You'll need it if you have a 13,700k or higher (7900X or 7950X) CPU compared to an air cooler (you'll need the big boy air coolers and they cost over 2.5k). Almost all AIOs are the saame naman, there's only about 3 OEMs that make them and yung brand name lang ang mahal. ID cooling and Deepcool have the best bang for your buck 240 AIOs.
yan nanaman tayo eh, mas okey po kung may AVR kayo pero hindi yong mumurahin. magkaiba kasi yong avr na mura sa maayos at most of the time ang pinoprotesyonan non ay yong psu mo mismo, sa ups naman the best po yan sa router nyo hindi sa pc kasi ang ups ay matagal mamamatay pag mababa lang ang watt na naka salpak.
we like shooting when they are on going builds, they make a nice background :) haha and sometimes we also use them as light props (point out specific components, mention the aesthetic, etc)
Yeah dont be like me: with an audiophile Headphone + amp/dac thats worth 50k+ php alone and this is considered a 'budget setup'. Dont go into this rabbit hole its a trap lol
one thing useful using AVR/UPS grounded yung PC case ko, when it is plug directly to a power outlet. but when I use the UPS/AVR the ground dissipate just adding protection is good.
Do you know that AC is a sinewave and it's peak it reaches 300+ volts. The 220 is just the RMS of the AC voltage. AVR is pretty much a waste of money if your PSU have Active PFC and almost all decent PSU have it now.
sa activation naman may mga program po na hindi gagana pag di naka activate ang windows mo katulad ng windows update, theme settings and more... hays napaka misleading ng mga sinasabi mo :(
nice to have but realistically there's nothing you can do if the place you're staying in did not have proper grounding installed when it was being built
yes don't buy AVR, you don't need it, you can just buy a new PC if your PSU explodes. why spend cheap AVR when you can spend a lot for a new PC after it explode. now im waiting for a wanna be expert to argue with this comment. and another one is also dont buy speakers like wtf, monitor nowadays have a built in speakers, why buy a good speaker with good sound when we have a free crap built in monitor speakers already.

UPS is for black/brownouts period. Since you haven't used them at all, your audacity to give tips about not using them is mind boggling.
