I do not think the newer cores are more stable, they are less stable. I have had more frequent errors and gpu instability with the new cores where it was not even an issue with the previous cores. C'mon wb where is my older cores?

i am running all 353 right now so I don't know what version it is just yet, so stay tune Squirrel for the fahcore 14 version 1.25. I have to see what machine have it..

the newer fahcore 11 is more STABLE if you lower the shader clock

see above!!!

ALSO the newer fahcore 11 is sensitive to over clock Shader... and you may have to lower the shader to avoid EUE. So If the old settings was fine months ago, now they would starting to get EUE from the same settings, and you may have to tune down the shader clock!!!!
( I have to do that on my GTX295 and GTX260 before I swap out the fahcore 11 )

WB

Exactly, so to me that means less stable. More sensitive equals less stable.

Sadly I agree that the ppd are lower, but as I'm running mixed cards (285 and 8800) I have no choice better ppd with the 2 than 1 of course  :)

I agree 100% of course this is for same card setup only, just I noticed the changes on the new fahcore11 and like to let everyone know what is affecting their PPD and the stable issue with the new fahcore11, because I was like **** " EUE " on settings that was once I consider STABLE.

so for mixed card, you just have to tough it out on lower PPD then no PPD, but the lost of PPD is only 256 - 271.8 , so in thoery that is not so bad.

Thanks man, I actually couldn't wait for your response and switched to the old Fahcore_11 (1.19) with size 1,843,200 bytes for my GTX260/216. No problems for now and I switched back to my creepy 666/1566/999 clocks; the 1.31 didn't like the shaders at 1566...

WB, is this the smaller size 1.19 you're talking about? Thanks!

I noticed it last night (less ppd) on a rebuild, but wasn't smart enough to realize it was the core.

I'll replace the old one tonight to see.....thought it was downclocking or priorities were conflicting.

200 ppd doesn't sound like much unless Wb and thaita are chasing you :)

for those running mixed cards i think that the newer cores just need to be on the 8000 and 9000 cards while the gtx200 series can still be running the 1.19, at least this is the case with the cards folding in my sig.

True, but I still get EUE on the new version of the fahcore 1.19 with my known stable shader settings. So i guess swaping it out couldn't hurt

WB

Hey man, I started having stability issues on my GTX260/216 with the 1.31 (particularly 787 WUs), do you say that you're running the 1.19 on your GTX295 and 1.31 on your 9800GT with no problems? How long has it been going?
I have a 9800GTX+ that's running 1.31 with no problems...
Thanks for the response!

theGryphon

YES 1.31 have been the problem for me on high clock settings, and I think it have been going on for almost 2 weeks, because it is the time frame of my rebuilt.

WB

Hey, WB, is it the 9242 one that you posted up there? If not, could you upload that somewhere? Many thanks!

No luck on finding that core 1.25 wb?

If you need FahCore_14 v1.25 or any other core here are the instructions for doing it manualy
Downloading FAH Core files manually

and here is another location for the old cores
FahCore_11.exe v1.19
FahCore_14.exe v1.25
