Very plenty? You didn't use too much, did you? That can cause high temps. You just want a very thin film. Just enough to fill in the microscopic pores of the metal surfaces.

You're probably right. As I remember, the 4 heat pipe stock coolers were really noisy at full speed. My 965BE has a 212 EVO on it too. In fact its stock cooler still has the original factory thermal paste on it; never been used. That was a great processor in its time. I wish I had never sold my 980BE, though.

It sounds like it is doing what it is suppose to. Speeding up the fan when the CPU gets warm. And your temps are kinda high. Has it been a long time since you cleaned off the old thermal paste and put new on? After a few years of continual use, the stuff can dry out. How's the inside of the case, heat sink, etc, clean?

If you are not planning on upgrading the gfx card in the near future, you will get the best frame rates in-game with the 720p display (1366x768). That gfx card is fine for that resolution. You'll be able to play at max/near max resolution in most games. As you increase resolution (number of pixels), the card will have more work to do to render each frame. As a result, you will have to lower in-game settings for each increase in monitor resolution.
If, on the other hand, you plan on upgrading to a faster card before you upgrade the monitor again, the 1600x900 would be the way to go. More pixels equals finer detail.
