I'd say YES. I don't have CVPPC, only a 604e-233 and 040/40 w/5 or so
Zorro cards. I have dual PSU and three small fans in front and one big fan
inside making sure air flows thru the machine. My fan monitoring hardware
(buy it from Clas Ohlson if you're from Norway/Sweden) says I have about
40 degrees sustained temperature. I do have lots of disks so this might
give additional heat, but I would recommend you get some fans to cool
everything down.. If you're running this on a desktop A3000 you might have
problems finding a slot for the fan, but you'll work something out ;-)
Good luck:)
