I moved into my girls childhood home that she rents from her dad and the electrical system is very outdated. The electrical panel is 50-60 years old. When I run my pc and my 3d printer, the lamps in the basement were constantly dimming, going back to normal, dimming, back to normal, etc.
I recently had to send in my motherboard for an rma since my pc wouldn’t turn on one day. I’m afraid that the poor electrical in the house might’ve caused this.
I’ve seen people saying that a UPS is unnecessary and a surge protector would be fine. But given this situation, would a UPS be better? #hardware #technology source
