But on the bottom of the case there is a printed adhesive that indicate 100mhz and 66mhz setting. Why if i need to upgrade the bios? This is the mainboard and you can see the adhesive on the bottom... https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mClLMmxgFXmc_7JaEVecR10z0T7E0F8P/view?usp=sharing This is the …

Glue for sure is not an option, termal biadesive can be but i need to know the name of this king of heatsink. Originally on the 233MMX there is a heasink + fan but seems to be fixed whit some glue or adesive and some clip on the cpu itself.

Use as a retropc a single board computer supersocket7 with a Pentium233MMX. Unfortunately the socket is not ZIFF (but the CPU is replaceable) and if I wanted to change the CPU I don't know how to fix the heat sink of the new CPU (a K6 for example) because in the socket there is no way to hang it. …
