1) Get Arctic Silver 5....
For instructions on how to apply see this...

2)It depends, usually the BIOS temp are higher....B'coz of no optimizations...
But try to check it via a number of apps...like
TAT,MBM,Speed Fan,sensors view etc etc...

For fans you can go with Antec, Cooler Master is better....or you may even try some generic fans that cost 50 bucks..

Here you go...

You can use "Vantec Stealth" fans which are very quiet but efficient. It was not locally available so I bought two nos online from Ebay, one 80 mm (Rs.550/-) and one 92mm (Rs750/-). I was already having one Antec 120mm in my cabinet TX1050B.
Q-Fan can be enabled or disabled from Bios, but if disabled, Cool&Quiet may not work.
