The first prototype was cooking the pilot's feet, but that was where they had tried to reduce drag with a much more extensive, tighter cowling with the turbine style fan behind the small slit in around the spinner. The early production models went to a conventional, NACA style cowl but retained the fan anyway. They did not have cooling problems to my knowledge.
The FW-190 D and later used a Junkers Jumo inverted V12 with a round radiator that made them look like radial engines when fitted to bombers.
