So again, could someone explain to me what a cooling chip is or how and  what size of a fan I need and how to install it?

Whoever said "cooling chip" probably meant "heatsink".  I don't own one but these pictures I googled up make it look pretty easy.  Measure the holes on the board, at a guess I would say something in the range of 40mm?

Haha picture 1 and 2 are mine :)
I was unlucky and had a way to hot Lisa after installing the indivision AGA.
It dosn't look like the other guy mounted it with bolts/nuts, he probably hotsnotted it in place, i don't do that xD I did use spare GPU heatsink mounting bolt/nuts I had laying around and also did modify the fan a bit to make it fit better. Only one hole is avaliable but using a slow 40mm fan that is sufficiant enough :)

As you see Punky~ it's no trouble adding a fan to cool Lisa, some hacksawing and you can keep the hdd cradle also :)

Edit: Here is my Indivision AGA MK2 mounted without the fan, only one hole avaliable for mounting a fan :/ (under the ground wire).

Are the artifacts immediate? The well-documented screen tearing issues using higher-resolution screenmodes typically show up only after the machine is on for a while. Do low-res (game) modes look fine?

Would it be possible for you to take a photo of the artefacts?

Run 4D sports driving, just leave it on and let the intro repeat, it's great for testing stability/heat issues on Lisa and good to look at ;) (that game generate errors when something is wrong faster then any other game or demo ive tried haha).

This is an old video of my overheating Lisa problems (at that time, without indivision).  My A1200 still suffers this problem with the Indivision when running high resolution/bandwidth modes.  But, my board is also still needing the capacitors replacing, which I think is partly the problem.

I think that some confusion is because Indivision ECS has a Picasso96 driver.

Good information, What I'm getting is more like double image lines and tearing at the top
and bottom (Lines appearing).  Not sure I could get a screen grab of it.  Where do I connect
the fan power line? Mounting wouldn't be an issue, but getting the power right would.
Thanks all.

Is the tearing happening as soon as your power up?  Or does it become worse as the device warms up?  For power I think most folks just tap into the floppy line, that's what I did for a cooling fan inside my A500.  12V or 5V are both available there, depending on what type of fan you get and whether you want it to spin fast or slow.  ;)
