Yes. If you do not overclock and have good flow in your case the stock fans are fine. They are built for that cooler.

Good - NO. Adequate - Yes. Aftermarket coolers perform better & quieter.

They are fine I suppose. I always thought they were good enough, but it seems the CPU companies are making them more and more sub-par as time goes by. I recently had one on my 8320. It worked okay for a couple months, then I noticed really high idle temps. Swtched to an after market cooler for $30 and lowered my temps by about 15C

Depends. Intel stock coolers aren't as bad as people say. But AMD? I certainly wouldn't recommend it.
