The G3/400 runs hotter than the G3/320 for more or less obvious reasons....just ask Intel.
I'd take either Interware G3, I just wouldn't pay a lot more for the 400.
At one time Jeremy had some temperature data points on his site, but I can't locate the page.

FWIW, my NuPower G3 went out in a blaze of glory after running around 170F most of the time. My Interware G3/320 rarely exceeds 160F.

Dear Gurus, The estimable Ralph Mawyer has suggested that the Vimage G3 400 upgrade is inferior to the 320 upgrade because of heat. I've a Nupower 240. Does the copper based 400 run hotter?
Than a 240? No. The Interware is copper-based too, isn't it? It might be
hotter than the 320 because it's faster, but I doubt that it would be more
than a few degrees? Also, the amount of heat generated can be relative to
the task, I've noticed.
It could be superior because it's faster. Does hotter mean inferior?
