I'm wondering if the stock cooler that comes with the R5 7500F is good enough for everyday use. I can't afford to buy a liquid cooler, even though my friends have been convincing me to get one. What are people's thoughts on using the stock cooler for this CPU?

I see no need for liquid cooling here. Just grab a $20 air cooler whenever you can; it'll do wonders compared to the stock one! The stock cooler isn’t going to damage your CPU, but upgrading can help things run smoother.
Yeah, the stock cooler should work just fine, although it can get a bit noisy sometimes. Honestly, spending money on a liquid cooler for the 7500F might be overkill. A decent budget air cooler could also do a better job than stock, but if you're tight on cash, the stock one should handle it. Just keep an ear out for noise levels!
It won’t be the best cooling solution, but it definitely works. Just be aware that it might get a bit loud. If you're really concerned about that, maybe consider a budget tower cooler down the line, but for now, the stock cooler is sufficient.
The R5 7500F has a thermal design power of only 65W, so the stock cooler should handle it without issues. It's really not that hot of a CPU, so you should be alright. Just be prepared for some noise if you're sensitive to it.
Honestly, liquid cooling for this CPU is pretty unnecessary. Even if temperatures get a bit high, it won't harm the processor; it'll just thermal throttle if things get too hot. Computers are built to handle some heat, especially this one.
