I run a heatercore in a semi-passive setup. It doesn't have a fan directly on it, but the fans that are mounted in my case pull air through and around it. Works fairly well because of the large amount of surface area.

I would recommend a larger radiator with more surface area if you can fit it, and possibly a larger pump if the one you have isn't up to the task. Not sure what the Zalman setup consists of but make sure you have at least 3/8 tubing on the CPU block and at least 1/4 on the chipset and GPU blocks.
