I just mounted a small one on the metal bar that holds down the zorro slots in my 4000d blowing onto the 060.  Easier than trying to mount it as there is not much room for mounting anything on my board.  

I replaced the ppc fan with one that plugs into the power supply.

Temperatures can get quite high in Australia during summer, I don't think air blowing onto the 060 is going to help keep it cool, especially in an A3000D where everything is tight and there isn't much room for the hot air to escape.



The 060 is the least problematic.  Having a fan blow on the entire board also helps keep ram cool.  Downside is dust.  My 060 was never a problem even when temperatures get over 30F in summer.  PPC (233mhz) crashed and locked up with the stock fan though.  I kept the same heatsink and just changed the fan.  Problem solved.  Fan blowing air on the board is just insurance.
