I had to open my PowerMac while it was on today, and I noticed that the
Power3d card was very hot. I remember reading somewhere that 3dfx cards
can get pretty hot i nsituations where there is poor circulation; my
7200's case definitely has poor circulation, with the PCI slots totally
isolated from the fan. Is there some sort of clip-on fan available
specifically for the 3dfx card? Is one necessary? What sort of problems
can I get from this heat buyild-up? Email responses are appreciated. TIA
