My first suggestion is that you upload smaller pictures.. 640x480 should be sufficient.

Your new heat sink should hold if you use thermal adhesive instead of thermal compound.

Does that thing really need a fan on it?
Anyway, I would not rely on thermal adhesive to hold that massive heat sink.

The cheapest. Not like the paste would make any difference if you aren't overclocking it to the maxx.

You don't need to lap the edge of, if your GPU is smaller than the edge. Just lap it so it's straight.
