I got both my systems crunching away on Prim Grid PPS (LLR) 6.24. Its looking like one hour forty minutes run time on my 2.2GHz i7 laptop and fifty three minutes on my i5. The i5 CPU is hovering right around 42C so far.

Running LLR's With all I've got. My second team challange this wil be. (Hmm.. Yoda English?)
Trying to combine With TZC as good as I can.
Fortunately I find GPUGRID and PRIMEGRID running quite Nice hand in hand, as long as you restrict GPUGRID to send GPU work only.
No rig has dried out so far.
Grind hard guy's^^

Four hours later my CPU temps have drifted up to 49/50C on the i5-3570k running at 4.2GHz. Its working a little harder than normal.
 
The laptop, on the other hand, may not make it. Its running hotter than I have ever seen it. Not sure of the exact temps but there is real noticeable difference in the heat levels being expelled by the fan. Its possible this is more than the i7-2670QM running at 2.2GHz can handle. I may have to look into getting a external fan to force cooler air into it. I already have it propped up to allow for more air flow.

It's like old times with NerdGZ and Mr. B.
We're doing well in 7th place and much closer to 6th than 8th.

I just noticed something. My estimated run times have dropped down to 27 minutes from the 53 minutes I was getting when I fired up Prime Grid earlier today on my i5.
 
I may owe my Puters an apology. I didn't think I would be doing this well as a individual, 121 out of 510. Nice to see we are in the top ten as a team. Hopefully we can improve that as more people join in after the Easter holiday.

Oh %$#@!!  I'm missing out on all the fun!   Here I am attending a training seminar instead of sitting at home making sure my CPU doesn't melt down.

Congrats RHMash you probably can pass me due to i´m not crunching 24/7 and have a i7 3820 at 4.2GHz without HT with 55ºCelsius doing some units at 25 minutes per task even i fired up another computer but room is becoming hot so i must shutdown it.
Go Go Go Team we have done a nice run :D

Well it looks like its possible Prime Grid is too much for my i7 laptop. It shut down some time last night. I'm not sure if it was because it got too hot or something else caused it to shut down. I have fired it up again and keeping an eye on it today. Might have been a momentary loss of power I'm just not sure at this point. There are not any warnings being shown in the Windows action center.

Kudos to you for crunching on a lap at all. My Asus i7 With a 650M card would basicly work, but after 20mins With Borderlads it glows and hoover. I think it will shutdow in a sec if I so much as whisper the Word "BOINC"

I noticed the same thing Khali.  At first I was running 10 threads with est time just under an hour.  Then I switched to 6 threads (with HT still on) and it dropped to ~28 mins.  We are doing very well so far, keep it up guys! 22 hours left.

Its a pretty rugged Toshiba. its only failing was not having any GPU besides the Intel graphics in the CPU. I did CPU Folding on it for six months or so and been crunching non stop on it since January. Other than windows and Boinc updates and the odd power outage it has not shut down or rebooted for anything until last night.
 
Its my entertainment when I am stuck in bed when my Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome acts up on me. I use it to browse the web, watch free Amazon Prime video's, and play a limited list of games. The best the poor Intel Graphics can do is Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age II. Most other games won't run or lock up after a few minutes.

Prime grid work will make your hardware yell uncle quicker than any other project. I was crunching on the wife's i-5 dual core with HT the other night set on 25% processors and it still got to 70C and it's not exactly hot in upstate NY yet. I know these Dell's weren't built for this type of abuse.

Oh yeah.  I always clean out the rigs before PrimeGrid Events.  Even reapplied TIM this time.

Its looking like we are locked into 7th place for this challenge. The 8th place, Aggie the Pew, team narrows the margin during the day but drops back during the night time hours. They must have some day time only crunchers.

7th isn't bad... generally this team places around 6-7th place at the end of it all.  That's a rather grand accomplishment considering the number of crunchers on this team that participate. 
 
Frankly I'm proud of the team.  One of our Crunchers is equal to around 2-3 of theirs.  If we had the dedication of new folks like you Khali... and more blood that would improve.  I have no doubt.  Still it's a good placing overall.  One I would be proud of.
 
Oh and MAKE sure you get some steaks from the Dutch Power Cows... it's a tradition!
