If you just use the stock fans that comes with the processor and don't overclock, you will typically get about 47 to 53 C. The manufacturer claims are 90C to 0C but having worked in the semiconductor industry, AMD, Intel all test their chips to fully function between -40C and 120C.
Typically extensive cooling is only for people who tweak their systems. If you use the manufacturer's default settings, then you really don't need any particularly powerful cooling.
