Does ne1 have any really genius cooling ideas. I am having huge heat
problems with my Voodoo3 at work and my TNT in the family machine could use
some cooling also, since I'd like to overclock the sucker to the max. I am
considering a pelter cooler for the Voodoo3, but exactly would that be
economical and effective. I put a fan on it, but still can't keep it cool
even though it's only overclocks 10 MHz above normal. It still gets
super-hot at standard core/mem clock speeds, due to it's poor position in
my system, close to a K6-2/400MHz CPU (pelter cooled) and a very powerful
SCSI controller, which has been moved around, but no cigar.
