The Geforce 9800GT has been running for 24-hours and two issues seem to have arisen. The first was a "stalled" SETI work-unit, while most of them are taking around 18 minutes, one took over 8 hours with no evidence of a problem. The CPU time taken was just over the 18 minute mark but when looking at the start and finish times, the wall time was over 8 hours. It wasn't even a VLAR work-unit. I have no idea what the problem is/was but will watch and see if it happens again.
The other issue is something I should have thought about before installing the GPU ... the UPS!! I have the two "local servers" plugged into a Powerware 3105 UPS. The idea at the time was to even out any power spikes and have around 60 seconds to power down the two machines in the event of a power failure. With the addition of the 105W GPU, I am now over the UPS's limit when the SATA drives are running in the file server.
As a short term solution, I have taken the hub and router off the UPS to give me a little more capacity but am going to have to think of a more elegant solution to this problem.
