I feel the pain! :) I managed to get Pentium 1 75MHz for Socket 4 and it was overheating...
Pre proper cooling tech eh? I think there were even clip-on co processors weren't there? Cyrix rings a bell?

It was long time ago, but I think 75 MHz Pentium even could more or less work without a heatsink at all.

486 could, Pentium could not :)

It was long time ago, and memories could lie to me, but I kinda remember running 75 MHz Pentium without any heatsink. And 486 vs P5 should not be a difference, heat is mainly from MHz, not CPU generation.
