Thanks, though that was not what I had in mind. I would rather not use glue if possible. I was hoping to find something with screws or pushpins that would fit on the existing mounting holes.

I have used the mechanical drawings on the Wiki, and found that the two mounting holes are 55.5 mm apart so a heatsink that is 40mm square would fit. It looks like that was a common size for Northbridge heatsinks back in the day, so I will look through my collection of old PC parts, to see if there is a motherboard I could cannibalize.
