On the topic of overheating VIC-II chips, I was thinking of modding in a heatsink + fan to keep mine frosty. Is this a good idea, or would a passive heatsink get the job done just fine? There's a website that sells full C64 heatsink kits for a few bucks although a 40mm fan+heatsink is pretty cheap too. From what I understand the biggest drawback of active cooling is you need to isolate the circuit thoroughly to prevent line noise on the audio out.
