Im about to order a e8400, and i'll probably be getting the zalman mostly due to the size of my case. But any of those will fit in the 900.

The Thermalright one is the best and for the $35 range, from reviews i would say the xigmatek is great.
 
so, I understand that it won't be a problem with so big fan... in case ANTEC Nien hudred and motherboard GA-X38-DS4
 
It should fit in the case without a problem, im not sure how big the northbridge heatsink is, or if it would or wouldn't get in the way.

All im going to say is, its should work.
 
I have at home Arctic Silver Ceramique paste, I bougth it around 1,5 year ago... may I still use it ? or I schould buy a new one ?
 
I would get the MX-2 paste, its better than AS, or AS5. I think it would be worth the $6, and you will have plenty left over for later.

When applying, i recommed a decent size dot in the middle of the cpu, then put the heatsink on and it will spread it around. A dot about the size of a grain of rice or BB is all you need.
