I guess Intel chosen stock coolers to be fairly effective, they might not be a cooling beasts and possibly you would have to check the CPU temps from time to time but if wouldn't work as it should they would simply not put it into the package... thats my opinion.

Without overclocking of any kind, it would be enough, although likely loud at times. But... if you don't plan to overclock there is not a single reason to go for a more expensive K variant. If you have not purchased it yet, that is. Just get the cheapest i5 you can find, like 4460. In that case you can also get the mobo with H97 chipset instead of Z97.
