Is the use of the long fan necessary or is the normal fan just fine when doing this upgrade?

I believe that it was stated in the past that the long fan was necesary because of the extra heat generated by the more powerful GPU, but I could be mistaken.

But I need to do the lcd though right? or will the XGA lcd work?

I dont need a manual, I've taken this all apart before, its all grownup lego to me.

How much did your upgrade cost? Nice tp btw!
