I have just noticed all my SMP units sent within last 24 hours (or even more) weren't given a bonus. The client estimations are rather different from what I can see in the statistics.
Why could it be?
Please note that the point calculation in Beta V7.1.43 isn't correct so please upgrade to the latest Beta version. Moreover, are you already qualified for the bonus points or not?

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).
I used to use a single passkey for all my rigs, at the time when it all happened I had 3 PCs at folding (2 quads with 1 SMP slot each+ something dual-core running 2 UniProcessor slots).
Having heard from the forum that a problem with bonus points could happen when the success rate drops below 80%, I decided to change passkeys to see if it does any better. I got a passkey for each of my 2 quads and it helped.
Today I've been provided with the following data on my old passkey:
Bonus Finished: 558
Bonus Expired: 397
% finished: 58
Honestly, I don't have the faintest idea how I could have spoiled so many units.

Hardly possible, the set-up (Q9450 at 3.2 GHz) has been working 3+ years without any issues. Moreover, the fact that the situation improved after getting a new passkey (nothing was changed in hardware) indirectly proves that...

No errors which could indicate OC problems (at least last month); earlier logs have died, unfortunately...

Wrong. in fact, FAH is just proving that the overclock was NOT stable.
FAH can't wreck an overclock that's stable ... it's just happens to be a more rigorous benchmark than whatever told you (incorrectly) that your overclock was stable.

That many expired work units means something is going very wrong many times over. If you don't find the problem now, it will simply happen again and again, and you'll keep needing a new passkey, and you will keep slowing down the project.
FAH has gotten really good at improving it's fahcores over time, and they continue to push the hardware more and more. What was once stable can NEVER be assumed to be stable in the future because fah is that good at improving it use of computing resources. And it would be wrong to assume that hardware could not go bad over the course of 3 years, especially when pushing it that hard.
Thank you for watching fah more closely from now on.
