I have a 3700x which comes with the same stock cooler (Wraith Prism). It's fine until you overclock and to my understanding the same is true for the 3900x. It is fairly noisy though, changes in fan speed were very noticeable. I personally upgraded the cooler to a Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B which has been much cooler and quieter.

It gets the job done, but under full load struggles to keep up. Depending on case airflow, it'll max rpm's with cpu temp hovering in the 90s (at least for me)

That's pretty warm, some guys would say its ok but.. it might be.. but I wouldn't want to see my CPU in the 90s all the time. I would assume pretty much anything would be better than stock. I don't own an AMD system so I cant really recommend a good cooler. But I would think a top end CPU would need a top end heatsink or AIO or CLC or whatever they are 

 

Especially if you want to overclock.

You don't need to upgrade it. Its safe to use.

 

If it was mine, I would upgrade it. I agree with others here. High temps aren't good for components. My stock 3600 cooler was a bit loud and ran in the mid/high 80s. Stock coolers are sufficient, but not great.

 

The cooler Ryzen is, the higher it boosts, so you'll get a little performance bump if you upgrade. Though it probably won't be noticable unless you run a lot of heavy workloads.

avoid stock cooler if you will stress your CPU..for any work like browsing,office stock will do the job....that thing heats really a lot,I have it and know it.
