Do you think that those who review these chips are over-zealous when it comes to CPU coolers, and are assuming that the buyer will want to overclock their processor?
@biometrics: Did you have to buy a new Windows license when you upgraded your computer?
No, it's just that it heavily depends on the user, most of the people that comment on it are generally people that want to do stuff like keep CPU temps under 80C so longer boost or lower noise, but anything under 100C on a CPU is fine, it's rated to handle that without issue.
Stock coolers are "good enough" for most use-cases, that's why they're stock, if you have a bad case, or want to overclock, you get a better fan.
In my case, I got a better fan on an i7 4770 years ago because the case wasn't great, that and a case fan sorted out thermal issues, and then just got adapter mounting brackets for moving that to new systems.
The other case that had fine airflow with a 5600X, just kept using stock as wasn't noticing any heat or performance issues (around 75C sustained).
