Review on EVGA 500 BR 80+ Bronze Power Supply - 500W, 3 Year Warranty - 100-BR-0500-K1 by Nick Mitchell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Will not work with an uninterruptible power supply/battery backup.

We have an uninterpretable APC power supply that provides battery backup during power outages or brownouts. This evga power supply does not keep the motherboard powered during the 15ms UPS transfer to batteries. I've had no trouble using Corsair or any other power source to keep the computer on during the transition from wall power to battery. I even bought another UPS brand to see if the UPS was faulty. Still does not work. I plugged in another cheap generic PC PSU to test and when I unplugged the UPS cord from the wall to simulate a power outage to force the UPS to switch to the PSU, the PC worked with the Genetic PSU perfect. See other reviews saying the same thing. This EVGA power supply is beautiful but poorly designed.
