Where does one get a socket 3 CPU heatsink and how does it attach? For now I am using an old AM2 heatsink but it just lays on the CPU
Obviously that won't work out so well when it is mounted in the case
Missing one too.
I have seen heatsinks glued to a socket 3 CPUs, but some have plastic clamps that grip on the lower edges of the CPU. This only works because a spacing of about 2mm remains between the 486 ceramic and the socket. This spacing is there already because four of the CPU pins have a thicker base.
Pentium CPU's are larger in size already.
As a last resort method I was thinking of tying it with fishing wire 🤣

I use Arctic Silver 5 - it becomes almost as strong as glue after the computer has been running for half an hour or more. Of course you can still remove the heatsink but you have to use considerable force.
Thanks for the suggestion. It seems crazy the CPU says "heatsnk req'd" yet it is hard to find a heatsink or way to attach it.
My socket does have two small plastic that looks like it is for holding a HS
You can get nice northbridge coolers on ebay that come with an adhesive heat-pad, and they usually cost very little money. This is what I use on my 486DX4.
If you look around a bit, you should be able to find the ones that attach to the sides of the cpu as well, and as with the others, they're usually cheap.

I personally dislike the "use arctic silver adhesive" method because there is a good chance that you scratch the CPU's top on cleaning it.
So I stocked up 3-4 of these coolers --> http://www.ebay.com/itm/COMPUSA-486-CPU-COOLE … =item58919433c0 when I got the chance to get them for free from a friend. 😀

I'd say those look quite nice 😀
