VR Stock Cooler?

I plan to build a gaming PC and also run VR games on it with the Oculus Rift S

 

I'll be using the Ryzen 5 3600x and the RTX 2060. I'm not too worried about the games running on my pc, but will the stock cpu cooler (Wraith Spire) be able to handle VR without overheating the system?

Assuming the stock cooler can keep the CPU cool during normal games or CPU stress tests then there's no reason it wouldn't be able to do so during VR.
