yes and no. These chips are designed to run hot, but once it gets around 60c things will start to get unstable.

The heat could also shorten the life of your chip from 30 years to 10 years or something like that(who cares). It could also affect other componets if there is not enough airflow and too much heat builds up..

I would install a temp monitoring program for windows so u can see what the temps are like at full load. Honestly you will probaly be fine, if you want to be safe there are millions of heatsinks better than the amd retail one so it shouldnt be too hard to find one that will decrease temperatures without increasing noise, or costing too much.
