Very nice!
It's funny how big the main-boards were - is there a jumper to change the frequency from 60 to 66?
I love the classic Pentium as it was my machine to delve into Doom and the amazing articles of Michael Abrash... which helped intensify this fascination.
Is the cooler directly glued onto the chip? It would be cool to know if you've got a ceramic or a gold top one.

Definitely looking forward to some benchmarks once the thing is complete.

I used Arctic Ceramique 2 and a dab of super glue on each corner of the heat spreader. And it is indeed a gold topped Pentium with the FDIV bug even according to cpu-world! Not 100% sure of the jumper but I would imagine so 😀 at some point I want to test it out and see if it will run at 66 mhz.

Ah - the "golden one". I once had three 60s(1 ceramic, 2 gold) and all of them made it to 66 - they just went from hot to hotter. Looking forward to the benchmarks.
