a fan is cheaper

And louder!

But apart from that, how have you mounted the fan?
I see no drill holes round the TV-GPU (I don't have a better name for the chip :) ).
So I assume you glue it on the chip.
Let's hope it drops never when you bounce at you case.

Make a brace to tie the top-left mount point to the housing near the backplane, in conjunction with the thermal compound it should stay pretty solid.
