The OEM version does not include a cooler. You will have to buy a separate cooler if you get the OEM version.

When the expert with the AMD badge tells you to avoid it, then you better listen. 
It isn't worth the power and money for cooling it. Just get a Skylake i5 or i7, or if you want to stick with AMD, wait for the Zen lineup.
If you're looking for the answer, then apanpapan3 is spot on.

What's the zen lineup and when does it come out?

Zen is AMD's new CPU core or 'microarchitecture' which will use the AM4 socket.Unfortunately you will have to wait till the end of this year, or possibly till Q1 in 2017. If I was you, I would go for Intel; since switching to Intel in 2001 (Pentium 4 days!!), I never turned back. Not that I'm an Intel fan boy.

Pretty good deal for a 9590. However, if you don't mind paying for +$100 liquid cooling, a $200 motherboard, a whole load of fans and a beefy power supply, then go forward.
Voltage is what matters for a stable CPU, providing constant voltages and power is down to the quality of your motherboard, how many dedicated power phases it has etc. With high voltage comes heat. Obviously. With something like a H100i GTX, you can even overclock it to 5.2GHz providing that the chip is a good one.
For all of this, you need money. Something that not everyone has a ton of. By getting a 'beast' of a CPU like this, you are wasting a lot of money (both on the short-term and long-term).
Just my advice.
