I do not have specifics, but I suspect "2d mode" as being the culprit. Check ccc to see if it has a 2d mode or comparable mechanism set to automatic activation.
You should be able to fit it, but I'd wait for another opinion or two--I've never owned any of the componenets in question and do not know how many directions the cooler can be mounted. It's definitely going to be a tight fit, lol.
Cooler dimensions if you don't already have them: 123 L x 96 W...

In games that support it, you should use console to edit sensitivity. You'll have much more control than the use of a slider, which when you're dividing to this degree of magnitude, definitely helps. In quake 3's engine, I can set the sensitivity as low as .001. In source, it at least...
I'm a little confused by your question. There are three potential issues I see.
1. If the cooler was the wrong socket type, which is not the case--the board is 775 and the cooler is 775 compatible. You can see this on the spec sheets of both the motherboard and the cooler at almost any online...
I play quake 3 and quake 3 mods for the most part in which the usage of a non-standard resolution is as easy as editing a configuration file. With this in mind, having more vertical viewspace with a high fov makes a huge difference when you're playing on a map that requires you to work vertical...
UGHH... to all of the people saying "my mouse is too sensitive at max dpi!", understand this: once your mouse sends its perceived input to your computer, that input signal is put through a number of filters before it is output and represented on your monitor. There's the windows acceleration and...
I haven't checked 69xx temps, but 90+ c is hot as fuck.
Edit: Yeah, that's way over normal. What's your ambient temp? Have you messed with the heatsink/fan at all? That temp alone could almost definitely cause instability.
