A stepping of 7? what is the CPU? P4 2.6, 2.6, etc? and how "old"?

a CPU shim can allways be usefull. (to be on the safe side)

crushing should not happen that fast. With most waterblocks, you use the 4 holes in the motherboard, and not a holder at the socket. This prevents the cooler from wiggling, and crushing.

Just be carefull when you screw down the bolts.

About the pressure, I'm not sure.
Normally, with IHS, it's about 10 KG. Some of that goes lost via the IHS. My best guess would be 8 to 10 KG.
