I don't have any pictures for this one, I'm afraid. However, I found that mounting a 92mm fan next to the expansion slots is very easy. The distance taken up by five expansion slots is almost exactly 92mm. You can remove two of the card screws and replace them with bolts long enough to hold the fan.
It's simple, cheap, and completely reversible. :)

Good tip there. If I had more cards, I'd use this. As it is, the only extra I have (besides Voodoo) is a NIC. I attached a 486 CPU fan to a piece of cardboard and stuck the cardboard in my ISA slot. ISA is still good for something. :D

good air movment around your grafics card is a must while benchmarking. Cooling your memory is also advised.
Imonitor my DDR with my digi doc5 = 34.6 C.....Hotter than my CPU temp at 32 C!!

A HD cooler also works pretty well
