I'm curious if anyone uses a surge protector or battery backup for larger cracking servers. Our system has four 980s and it's fine when not cracking, but as soon as we spin up the GPUs it pulls too much power & the UPS can't keep up. I'm assuming that's a common thing & it would take a huge UPS to support it the power draw, but I don't know if maybe it's just our old UPS. Is a dedicated surge protector without the battery backup the way to go or do we just need to upgrade the UPS? Any recommendations?
