Nothing that a soldering iron can't solve... But you also need a new bigger heatsink which will fit.

If you can touch something for some seconds, it's probably not hotter that 70-80°C Around 65 more likely. At 80 reflexes will kick in.

Put a bigger heatsink on it? You can't. Heatsink is soldered to the motherboard.

From my experience, Windows 98 SE has some problems with serial mouse identification after you change the motherboard.

Re: 80486 cpu with overdrive

Overdrive chips fit the overdrive socket next to a soldered sx25mhz processor. Not all, some had additional pin and some don't. Overdrive without additional pin is just your regular DX2 with pre-installed cooler and it won't work on motherboards with soldered CPUs.
