Check out their stuff, excellant customer service and they shipped within 3 days from the USA to the UK!!

I recommend the Stealth v3 Fighter for all voodoo owners, its amazing how much cooler and quieter after installing.

I'm only posting this item as they also help out if you have unusual chips that need cooling, just email them the spec of your hot chip!

I put my Voodoo 3 in the bottom slot and mounted an exaust fan underneath it to blow the hot air out.  The heat seak is now quite cool.
Good alternative if you already have a Voodoo 3 in your Amiga.

I don't know if PPC architecture has this, or whether the Voodoo 3 has this, but don't they have temperature sensors that you can just read off while you're running the computer?

(yes, obviously that requires software support, on Windows I use SpeedFan, very nice little util)
