Sorry for being such a noob, but. Would the Zalman CNPS7X LED fit in the Cooler Master Elite 430? I checked the dimensions and I think it's fine, but may be a tight fit... anyone know for sure? Speaking of which, in the event I get it, I think I heard it comes with its own thermal grease and if it does, would it be okay to use some Arctic Silver I have on hand instead? Thanks a ton!

Yes. The case is wide enough to support a 13.5cm cooler. Case is 19cm wide, cooler is 13.5, give or take a few centimeters for standoffs and motherboard height, you'll be fine.
