    No only 1 computer is running on this ups and the system is mentioned above. I've just check the other

    computer for experiment.

    Then it sounds like the transformer in the Corsair is having issues with the voltage level from the Modified sine wave coming from the UPS. I would probably not run the system on that UPS or eventually you can blow the PSU.

    I agree with Eric. Newer, higher-efficiency PSUs really need pure sine wave UPSes. However, the modified sine wave UPS that you have is intended for systems with older, lower-efficiency PSUs that provide much less power output than their actual from-the-wall power draw.

     

    Unfortunately, good pure sine wave UPSes can cost nearly half as much money as what you spent for your entire PC.

    I asked Corsir's support they also mentioned about Pure sine wave. So i think i may switch the PSU b'coz i can't change the UPS it cost almost double the PSU and it has 4/5 Hours of backup.

    I tried UPS on the CoolerMaster Silent Pro RS850 (borrow from a friend) it doesn't make any sounds at all,,,, This PSU would be good.

     

    Any suggestion's?

    Coolermaster Silent Pro 1000W work fine with Simulated Sine waves so the 850W should be fine.
