Is it possible to change the heatsink on a old overdrive? or install a new one if heatsink is missing?
I saw somehere it is possible to use with "thermal adhesive"? its a type of glue? or am i talking like a crazy guy
naa, nothing yet...
The original overdrives had no VRMs mounted on top, so therefore what you want to do is quite possible.

I was looking at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-80486-overdrive … e0AAOSwx2dYJmgu
And what i know that model of dx2opd50 do have heatsink, and problebly would need one if bought.
Maybe http://www.akasa.com.tw/update.php?tpl=produc … odel=AK-TT12-80 would work?

If your board has a ZIF socket with the protrusions for attaching something, you could mount a small s7 HSF. If your board has only 2 of those protrusions (most s7-like CPU sockets have at least 2 or 3 each side) you'll need one of those z-wire clamps.
Otherwise if your CPU (which has its heatsink removed) is flat, perhaps you could use one of those traditional clamp-on HSFs that attaches directly to the CPU (these are mostly 486, pentium ones I haven't seen a lot but do exist).
