My new i7 2660k box is currently working on Project # 2685 which @ 4.1ghz overclock is doing about 30min/segment. It's about halfway done now and should be done sometime tomorrow morning taking just a little bit over 2 days to complete. I used Giga's EasyTune to push the cpu to 4.1 overclock. Until I get a handle on how to manually adj to bring the overclock a little highter I'll leave it at that speed for now. The CPU tem is about 60c with a Zalman 9900MAX doing the cooling with the fan running about 49% of top speed. This is only the 2nd project for the new box - it did a regular smp project as it's first. I'll try to report back tomorrow morning whether it snagged another bigadv project after this one.
My Qosmio 595 Laptop is doing both smp and fermi gpu projects but this morning the gpu reported it was asleep! After giving it a stern talking-to and doing a reboot for some update files from Microsoft it's back on the job with the gpu. I would love to have tried bigadv on this machine but the i7 740 cpu can only do 1.74ghz
Damn, losing those WUs ain't gonna help my rankings!
Currently my Q6600 is crunching a P6075 WU, is that a big adv one?
I thought you needed an 8-core CPU at a minimum to crunch BIGADV.
Definitely make sure the cooling unit in your laptop is up to the task. Laptops in general run much hotter due to their limited enclosures so hate to see you fry your chips due to intensive nature of F@H. Maybe look into a laptop cooler pad if you plan to run it 24/7.

Yup, 8 cores. Logical or physical.
Ah, I'm getting mixed up with the 'normal' bonus WUs then I guess?
