Hi,
I have the impression we're a bit low on x17 WU's the last few days. Am I correct? I seem to keep getting x15's for 3 days in a row. And in the http://fah-web.stanford.edu/psummary.html I can't seem to find any x17 projects, but then again I don't really know how to recognize them.
I'm not complaining, just wondering if it's a coincidence for my machine, or the x17 projects are really low for the moment.

Unfortunately the old psummary page does not list all currently available projects, as it is near deprecation. Please see the new page: http://fah-web.stanford.edu/new/psummary.html. There should be a handful of x17 projects available.

I can add my own observations to CBT's here since they might be similar. My Windows GTX 970 slot typically gets assigned a mix of x17 and x15 projects. Over the past three days, it has received nothing but x15 projects. Since this seems to be the same issue that CBT was requesting help with, I thought I would post my own experiences.
I can also confirm that my 3 Maxwell's (1 GTX 980 and 2 GTX 970's) have been getting almost exclusively Core15's over the last few days. I have not changed any settings.

I'm not disputing that you have the same problem, but I'm going to chastise you for not providing the information requested as it applies to you, too:

It is not our settings that have changed, its on "your" end. Standard WIN7, default FAH setting, GTX970s in my case. Look at the forums - hardware.no could be a good start......
Hardware configuration: Intel i7-4770K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR3-2133 Corsair Vengence (black/red), EVGA GTX 760 @ 1200 MHz, on an Asus Maximus VI Hero MB (black/red), in a blacked out Antec P280 Tower, with a Xigmatek Night Hawk (black) HSF, Seasonic 760w Platinum (black case, sleeves, wires), 4 SilenX 120mm Case fans with silicon fan gaskets and silicon mounts (all black), a 512GB Samsung SSD (black), and a 2TB Black Western Digital HD (silver/black).

When I just checked, I noticed that my GPU is currently crunching on a x17 WU. So most likely it was just a coincidence.
Thanks.
You were right. It's a Maxwell thing. I have 2x GTX 980's, 1x GTX 970 and a GTX 780 folding. For the past 5 days nothing but Core x15's on Maxwell chips. The GTX 780 Kepler chip has been doing almost half of my PPD.
I also run Win7 and NVIDIA 347.09 drivers and have some Core x17's running now on the 9xx cards.
No changes made to settings, drivers or even house temperature. The default "Provide information regarding this, that and the other thing" when the fact is most who would post about such an issue know well enough that if they did change settings they would let you know that there was a change. We post about this because when there are no changes made on our end there may be an issue with a server or a simple change in work unit priority.
I've changed to the "beta" flag form "advanced" but oddly enough I began getting Core17 projects just prior to that change.
Please don't blame the "staff" here. They are all volunteers. If Bruce asks for information, it's because that information is necessary to see if there are patterns to the failures. There is no other way of knowing what settings you are running, whether you have changed them or not. So if you want help, provide the information so that there is at least a chance of finding out what is wrong. It is quite possible that a server has been misconfigured, but without knowing your settings, it won't be possible to identify and rectify.
