It isn't a laughing matter folks. It was a serious HEAT PROBLEM from his Overclocking. Back in the days, Aqua Lube wasn't available. Enormous amount of friction was generated due to Russ running them Out Of Spec; especially with the abnormally contoured surface. At first he though a little Burn-In would make things go more smoothly, but that was later proven to be a myth. Hindsight is 20/20. He said he should have tried LAPPING to get better results.
