I don't eat meat because it tastes good, I do it because I hate animals

Alright, so here's another one.

I currently have this in my PC:


And at a local LAN a couple of weeks ago, I won a Thermaltake POLO735 heatsink. Should I put that on? My computer right now works just fine, and SpeedFan says that I'm running between 90 and 100F at all times, even after playing CS:S for 2 hours.

I've never put an after-market heatsink in, so what should I be looking out for, as to avoid loving something up?

No way in hell you should, the Zalman you have in there would most likely do a better job.
Also, the Zalman IS an aftermarket cooler.
