That is the nature of the GTX 295's, I am finding them to be not very stable for folding.

I'd wait till the current job finishes and goes in the next one and records a checkpoint. I don't think core change would keep the current WU going, but I'm no expert at all...

the lower ppd core is replaced, hopefully they both fold at the same ppd now. i'm at work, cant monitor fahmon from here. guess we'll see when i get back home if the other fah_core11.exe helped or not.

I had the 1.19 Core11 on one card and 1.31 on the other but they both downloaded the same Core 14, which is version 1.26... Then, my main card EUE'd right after it started the 1888 WU. I restarted and deleted both Core 14's but they again downloaded the same 1.26. Now they seem to both run fine though. I don't get it sometimes...

fahcore14 version 1.26 is the newer fahcore14. i think they are replacing the 1.26 on all the fahcore14. if you look back at page 1 there is a download for fahcore14 version 1.25 i also noticed the fahcore14 1.26 is very sensitive to over clock shader and it can get EUE very easily right at the beginning of folding , or half way through the wu , and start over again from the beginning. so i don't know if the 1.26 is what were called the "BETA" fahcore14 for mixed card folding, back couple of week ago.

It says it is beta, dated October 14th. The download link above is also 1.26. They are exactly identical, size and everything... 1,298,432 bytes It's going fine for now at around 15%, I hope it won't crash middle way... If anybody can post an actual core 14 version 1.25, it'd be nice to give a try if this fails. Thanks!

I fixed my first post and added a link for FahCore_14.exe v1.25 dated March 24,2009 the current core (Oct26, 2009), the beta core (Oct14, 2009), and core v1.25 (March 24, 2009) all have the same file size of 1,298,432 bytes When I extracted the core the first time I must have gotten them mixed up, but this time I know I kept them straight.

Hey man, Thanks a lot!!! You're right, file sizes are the same and don't get mad but i was apparently mistaken, actually deceived by Stanford. In short, your link was actually pointing to a 1.25 and now both your links point to a 1.25. BUT, even if you copy them in the FAH folder, Stanford send a 1.26 Beta to overwrite them and executes that Core. Can you believe it? I was able to confirm this by checking the file hashes...

My core 1.26's has been running perfectly since that initial incident. I don't know what happened... The thing is both my cards have been running Core 14 (1888 WU) like there is no tomorrow. What are the chances??? It gives significantly less PPD...

Hey Tasmac, are you pissed because Stanford is replacing the Core_14, or is something else is up?

It seems like the new cores ARE crap, they are unstable and unreliable and as usual Stanford has no consideration about the effects of what they release on VOLUTEERS hardware. If you have the disposable cash to spend on replacing thousands of dollar computers then I guess it is no big deal, but when you have the time and money invested in something that you can not afford to mistreat that is a different matter.
