WELCOME TO XTREME!

The Intel Reatil processor wil lcome with thermal grease, ive built a few intel systems at work and can tell you it is definetly not good stuff, AS3 would be much betetr but as its retail, it should come with some thermal paste.

For overclocking, you will only be able to raise the FSB (front side bus0

sorry for not being much help but im definetly not an Intel expert.

Hope it helps in some way/shape or form though!

Just realize that NONE of those Acceleration options (the settings that bring the 865PE on par with 875P at stock 1:1) will work with that memory. You are in essence left with a plain-jane 865PE.
