Available Cyrix 386sx to 486slc2 cpu clip-on upgrades (GG386/486 cards upgrade!)
Hiya!
I want to inform you that eBay seller hm222 , has another 5 of the following cpu upgrades, they are new and sealed in their original packaging. I have 3 of them, and used them to upgrade succesfully a GoldenGate486slc/25mhz to 486slc2/50mhz and my IBM 386sx/20mhz to 40mhz 486slc2 ... although not really a 486 upgrade, it behaves like a beefy 386DX , in any rate better than the onboard cpu LOL here are some pics: and here is my gg486 upgrade: and here is my upgraded PS1/pro machine: (the green heatsink is part of the kit ) I am in no way affiliated with the seller, I have purchased 3 of these from him without any probs whatsoever, all NIB. I have asked him if he has more, and he said he has another 5. so if you need to uprade your goldengate or commodore 386sx bridgeboard, here is your chance, I never saw them on eBay before. |

Thanks a lot!! I've contacted the seller, now waiting for response.
Full throttle actually runs on goldengate slc486, but not smoothly especially on action stage I don't have small fan on my ggate, is that normal and ok for upgrade to slc2? |

yes it is Ok, does you gg has a heatsink instead of the fan?
the upgrade comes with all needed parts, the clip-on cpu, a retainer piece and a special heatsink... is is better to also have a fan blowing air at the slc2... |

i think it was pentiums and better that required cooling like fans, etc. high end 386/486 may have had cooling via heatsink. however a cpu can never be too cool!
good link btw keropi. nice to see you're helping out the community (brings a tear to my eye) |

anything from 486DX and better needs a heatsink, and 486/80mhz and up need a fan too!
on the goldengate I have a small 2x2x1cm laptop fan blowing at the slc2, and it is always cool to touch... on my pc where I have not yet installed a fan, the slc2 is BURNING! |

Yesterday my old HP Vectra 386SX 26mhz got some love
This upgrade really rocks...a 16mhz 386 isn't very usable for games after 1991 I got the same performance as a 386DX 40mhz now |
