030s are the coolest of the 030+ range.  I've never seen a cooler or a fan on a normal 030 board.  If it's going in a desktop case it might be an idea to keep the trap door off to help keep it cool, but a fan or cooler isn't needed :-)

--edit--

Looks bare compared to the 040/060s :-)

No probs LinCH!

Your 040/28 would still be faster than the 030/50, but at least you don't have the 030/30 like I did.  Boy that's slow compared to what I've got now :-D

My 040/25 was drastically quicker than my 030/30 (over double) so I don't think a few extra MHz will make the 030/50 faster than an 040.

Using SysInfo (SysSpeed refused to work with my 030) my 030/30 was averaging 7.2x mips, the 040/25 was 18.xx mips.

Your 030/50 should make it to double figures, but I don't think it'll reach the 18.xx that the 040 does.

@Piru

I know, but without going into too much depth about general speedyness, this was the quickest way to show the difference.
