I have a Z97 E2200 motherboard Socket LGA 1150 Work?

Should be good. The 212 series is supposedly compatible with all LGA 115x mobos.

What cpu do you have and what's wrong with the stock cooler?

If your temps are already too high, your cooler is probably not correctly mounted or your voltage setting is too high. Many people have reached 4.5ghz+ with the stock cooler.

Idle temps don't really matter and you're fine up to 80-90c at load.

How are you sure it's too hot if you haven't seen the temps? You can check your temps with software like Msi Afterburner.

That's normal. Check your temps instead of measuring with your finger.

An * shape of whatever spreads it out to cover the whole gpu. If the paste isn't that thick, you can put Saran wrap on your finger to spread out the paste.
