[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1837546, member: 110816"] I'm not sure what you are trying to protect. Your MBA came with a screen attached, and is able to support a number of external monitors at certain resolutions, so use it or don't that entirely up to you. The GPU isn't a mechanical part that is going to break down with usage. If things get hot, there are fans inside to bring it down. I would NOT recommend using a 3rd party fan tool to arbitrarily set the fan speeds, since the fans ARE mechanical and will fail over time. [/QUOTE]
