Use the one that comes with the CPU then the CPU warranty is keeped intact. If it seems too load or not containing temp then use the Zalman.

a cpu running at stock speeds should be cooled just fine with the stock cooler, unless the airflow is extremely limited. also, and as stated, using a different cooler voids warranty, although im not sure how an oem would find out you didnt use it. (assuming your smart enough to smear the thermal compound around on the heatsink before you RMA it, and they dont use some kind of chemical test to see if there is a different brand thermal paste, but why would they do that??)
