with the E8400, you'll be able to hit 3.6v easy with your current voltage, or maybe a bit more. To get it stable though I'd loosen your RAM timing a bit.

well a good thermal paste (like arctic mx-3 or coollaboratory pro etc [really great those 2]) does make a great difference from a bad one. i even saw 8c difference...
but you have to search allot, price is the same in most of them

you should make the timings more than 8-8.... so when you finish overcloking you cant tight them up again so they dont cause any problems while you are doing it.
the cooler looks good but i cant see ANY fan's installed in it. you should add one at the front and one at the back side of it so you can create air flow inside it.
as for thermal paste a good one really does the job done ( i saw 10c difference when i replaced the default my cnps 9700 had with coollaboratory pro)

yep you need to loosen them so they dont affect stability while you oc, after than you try to tighten them as much as you can.
