I have a mid-2012 cMBP 13" 2.5GHz that I know needs new thermal paste. I was also going to put in a new fan at this time. Since I am going to open it up again, I was considering changing the logic board to a 2.9Ghz model from the same year but

1) Will this work? Is there a high likelihood of damage? (I have successfully changed and cleaned multiple parts in the past)

2) Does the difference between them make it worth it? My only heavy use app is Photoshop, but I almost always stick to one PSD at a time.
