Have a Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition with Asus M4A77TD PRO motherboard in a Cooler Master Elite Series case. Stock heat sink fan is terribly noisy and I'm thinking of replacing it with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus for lower temps + less noise. I'm worried about the contact surface not being smooth though. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Also, do I need additional products like thermal paste, etc.?
