Need some help Overclocking Radeon LE....

Hey all, I got a real old Radeon LE, I bought it when it first came out and knew nothing about the card.. UNTIL RECENTLY!! (hehe) system specs are:

AsusTek P3C-L
P3 600EB
256 RDRAM
Radeon LE
185 Watt PS
Thermal Take Crystal orb

I found a Radeon Tweaker called "Power Strip"
I used it to ENABLE Hyper Z, and now I want to change the core frequency.
But I'm scared I might ruin the card, since it ONLY has a heatsink (NO FAN)
I want to put the Crystal Orb in it and let it loose, but the board has NO pins to secure the Crystal Orb, neither do I have any glue to stick it with. I also do not know HOW to remove the Original Heatsink so I can replace it. This is kind of tough for me, so please I need any advice, personal experiece, a website, anything. Can anyone tell me the steps I need to make to take out old heatsink...secure new one?? Thanks for your time
 
Dude, you don't need to stick a fan on there. You're more likely to damage it by modding it than by OC'ing it. I've got a Radeon LE, and I oc'd it using power strip right up to the retail frequencies of 183/183. If you're worried about damaging it, just increase the frequencies in 5MHz jumps, then run through about 5 loops in 3DMark2K1 SE to make sure that its stable (also look out for any graphics anomolies like artifacts or "ripping"). Once you reach the card's limit, just back off 5MHz to be safe.
