If the onboard 68020 is getting hot then I suspect it's blown!  Have you tried running it without the accellerator card?

Screen tearing typically occurs when the displayed refresh rate is out of sync with the rate at which the graphics are redrawn, so I doubt cooling the custom chips will have any effect.

Certainly is a good idea. I've been running DblPal - and more recently DblNTSC (rock solid on my 19" TFT), which increases the heat generated by the video chips considerably.  Removing the shield has improved cooling a little, but adding heatsinks and a fan will reduce temperatures further - and hopefully prevent the video 'tearing' problem on my A1200.

laugh all ya like but its a good idea !
sinking that heat more effectively will prolong the lifetime of those chips, particularly in the Brazilian climate. and most of the chips are quite likely irreplacable !

-odd that the 020 gets hot in an accelerated system though... you'd expect it to be switched off...

If for nothing but "because I can" I still would mark this a solid 10points for looks alone. :)

I think it's better prevents.

Alice and Lisa goes hot (I use DBL-PAL most of the time). :madashell:

 And the CIA chips running (not so) hot too. :madashell:

 The original 020 goes (strangely, 'cause I have an expansion board) hot too... :madashell:

 And I think it's looking better this way. :-P

Alice might get a little hot, but the rest surely don't need cooling.

Man, what do you run on your Amiga to get all the chipsets so hot? NOS? (smiles)

Seriously though, I didnt think this would be the case for this particular board!

Cheers 8-)  8-)
