What about the noise of a 40mm fan on the nb?
Your gfx & psu fan would be a lot louder than a 40mm fan on the NB. You can always connect it to a motherboard fan header and set the RPM in BIOS fan control if it is too loud.

Definitely take off the heatsink and reapply some thermal paste as I can more or less guarantee that if it's still stock thermal paste it's hardened and your not getting good thermal conductivity with it.

This thread helped me a lot when setting the board up:
