hi,
i know about 3 editions of the dx2-66:
* naked, as oem cpu
* overdrive as retail cpu (boxed)
* blue heat sink version? where they use it? what was the reason of this edition?
i did not find any info about it. originally i thought this cpu was the retail, but from the newspapers looks the overdrive was it.
I have seen tons of different coloured heatsinks on 486's. I had a gold/copper-coloured one on a 486-dx2-66 in an IBM at some point.
The glued on heatsinks, just came in whatever colour, the maker of a given machine chose to use. Basically it is just a standard CPU.
Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.
Those cakes make you sick....

I'm pretty sure that's the color of the standard heatsink of the non-Overdrive version.

I think he intend CPU stock directly from intel, not modify one by the PC builder.

Ahhhh. I see. Well. In that case, I have no idea on what different colours Intel used for heatsinks that they sold preinstalled on their product's.

these are the intel official heat sinks (the blue and the overdrive). the question: was the blue sink version an oem or a retail product?
here they write... boxed

but how the box looked? the overdrive is obvious.
DELL use to use Blue Heat sinks too.
thx... with this type of blue sink? in this case it looks, the blue version is also an oem solution.
No, that's the normal retail boxed release. OEM had no heatsink at all.

where is the box? i did not see any, just overdrive boxes.
i found box with x87 cpus, pentium, etc, but nothing with 486, just the overdrive.
