it's fine to use the stock cooler but the problem for me has always been the noise. not in daily routines but the moment you start a game the stock cooler sounds like a jet engine taking off and after a while you don't hear anything around you! it's always been like that and so far no tweaks have been done from AMD or Intel. I don't overclock so it's a bummer for me to replace them every time
