Overloading i meant to say , running 4gtx 1070 on 1.1kva apc.

What do you mean its overloaded?  Like you get no power?  If you are truly concerned about your investment you should use a UPS.  A sudden power loss won't kill your rig, and an UPS won't power it for any meaningful amount of time during a power loss, but if you want true surge protection you need to get it from a UPS.  A surge protector won't provide true protection


There is usually a setting in the BIOS listed under advanced power management. What kind of motherboard do you have and model number?

I usually have 2-3 outages a year. Each of my rigs runs between 850-1000 watts. Even the 900 watt UPS struggles on occasion with 850 watts so I stopped using them.

Using asus z170 gaming pro.
Power supply, thermaltake tough power 1000w 80plus gold
This decision is killing me, isn't there any way to combine to ups xD?
Its hard to grow up with these expensive investments Sad
