I say wait until you have the Zalman up and running. It might work wonders, you never know. There's no sense adding another fan and therefore more noise if you find the CPU fan upgrade doing enough work. I've heard stock CPU fans are pretty rudimentary. The Zalman should have an impact on CPU temp.
