Totally fine, even good for a little overclocking but just enable pbo if you wish and itll boost clocks if you need more performance

Well, if you are not overclocking, then it should be fine. The stock cooler is going to be a little warm (running at about 80C at full load with just a little bit faster than your base clock).

 

I have Ryzen 3600, and the included cooler reach 80C with about 3.9GHz boost on all core. I changed to Hyper 212 LED Turbo, and my CPU is at around 70C running at 4.075GHz all cores most of the time. I just set every overclock-able settings to auto.

 

So, included cooler is sufficient. If you like, you can get a proper cooling tower for more performance.

I apologies if my comments or post offends you in any way, or if my rage got a little too far. I'll try my best to make my post as non-offensive as much as possible.
