Very similar to mine. 
I got lucky. Mine came out of an office that the server was being totally redone. Got it from a tech on the job for 50 bux. Yes itās legit. it was one being replaced for bigger n better
Waaaiiit a second. You saying I need a UPS as well now? 
First talk I ever heard about this!!
I assume itās to maintain a constant supply of power, rather than keeping the system online if there is a power cut?

Oh my dood, I know. I know. Itās more of an insurance policy. Iāve lost hardware from power outs I have a kingston SSD that was the last victim of that before ups. As a more hardcore OC guy (self proclaimed) and an audiophile. I love cleaned and regulated voltages
Lol. Well a good UPS kinda works for both scenarios.
I generally sayā¦ Donāt skimp out on a good PSU or UPS! (Especially if you have a top tier desktop PC).

All valid points. But some education needed (again) lol
I have a Corsair HX1200 1200W 80+ Platinum Modular Gaming Power Supply
So would that be OK āas isā? Or I need thisā¦
Cyberpower CP1500EPFCLCD-UK Backup UPS PFC Pure Sinewave 1500VA/900W 2 x UK Sockets 4 x IEC https://amzn.eu/d/9qMm3sX
Does the Watts output need to be higher than my PSU? So this at 900 isnāt good enough? Next step up I can see is like 2x this price (nearly Ā£800!).
I hear you all saying āhere we go againā

Bro, Iām like a BMWā¦ let that wallet burn 
That one would almost for sure give you enough time to shut down in a blackout if you were gaming. With mine i can go on for a bit, and had a recent blackout (month ago) for 7mins in Chatham ON, Canada. I played on
PS, that PSU is tight!!! Kills my Corsair rmx 1000
Iāve lived in this house for 10 years and never had a blackout. But never say never, right

I know, they arenāt cheap. But it really is an insurance policy that protects your investments. And brown outs are the worst!!! sour power

I would say at the very least. Make sure your power bars are belkin, or other company that will payback your equipment, if spiked through them
Folks, just a reminder to stay on topicā¦

I left the gpu on glide, no extra heat, get the cpu run betterā¦ darn close. I need to turn the darn A/c on soon i think
I know, nobody cares. Still on windows open outside temp cooling. And I can feel this box warm beside me 
. buuuuuuuuuuuut. Next I will wait for a cooler day or do A/C to get my vid card up to where it can be. Then, who knowsā¦ top 1000? I wish!!!
Dude thatās incredible how you got everything so finely tuned. Iāve been out at work and canāt wait to get everything as cut as that.

Much <3 bro!!! Ty
It should be fine, you just need to be cautious that the components connected to the UPS donāt draw more than 900W (combined) at their peak - otherwise you could run into stability issues or possibly trip the UPS.
I have an HX1500i PSU connected to my 1050W UPS (ā¦among other items) and itās been perfectly fine.
Even a high end PC with RTX 4090 shouldnāt come anywhere near 900W running full outā¦ Unless youāre doing something very special with it!
Now, Back to the 7950X3D talkā¦

Be aware that Windows uses the RAM as a file system cache. So more RAM equals a faster PC. Up to a point of course
