Yes, I assembled myself. The Zalman fan/heatsink is rated for a 3200+
400 MHz FSB.

Grease is applied correctly (I followed the directions in the fan package).

The heatsink is on correctly. The clip will only let it go on one way.

There are about 30 to 35cm from the back of the case to the wall.

Got that part right.

Got that too.

All the rest of the settings are already the defaults (I didn't play with
anything other than the FSB Freq).
