Well I thought I'd share this with everyone, interesting screenshot at the least. I found a usage for all the compute power my new laptop has, including the gpu. Note the load in the background terminal.
Also: turns out some laptop bios's are smart enough to clock down and not let you clock back up within a given timeframe if they hit 99C. GPU was most likely hotter, but its rated for I think 150C.

I'm confused: are you cracking Wifi keys or eggs? ...'cause I'm pretty sure it's possible to cook eggs at 100degC. Not to mention male genitalia - already happened to some poor guy in Europe a few years ago. If you run this on battery, the discharging battery will add to the heat load, thus throttling the CPU faster, thus extending the battery charge. Hmm, that almost sounds like a perpetual-motion machine.
This brings up the question of why you're trying to crack your neighbour's wireless security, anyway. Other than just an excuse to exercise the thermal-protection circuitry in your new laptop :-).

I was more curious than anything else to see if I could get pyrit working properly, and how this laptop compares to other devices out there.
I've thought about cooking eggs with a cpu actually, the AC was off at the office when that heat wave came through a couple weeks ago.. couldn't get permission to use work equipment though.. maybe I'll use an old thinkpad I have laying around.. would make an interesting youtube video.. hey, would you look at that a quick search yields a nice southern gentlemen giving a very nice demonstration: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uBNCN6v_gk - now thats what MUUG should do.. bring in a few devices and plug them in on the conference table - we could all have bacon!
As for my neighbors wifi, even if by some chance I managed to brute force it I think I wouldn't be using their internet on account of my girlfriend killing me.

Sick! I wonder what Intel will say when he tries to RMA the fried CPU.
