If its only 6 months old is it not still under warranty? Why ruin your chance at getting it fixed/replaced?

It was still under warranty but as the 120 mm AIO was cooling a i7-11700kf, it was decided that a new cooler, not a replacement, would be best in the long run too. My friend had 0 PC knowledge and simply bought a good looking prebuilt. 

I did encourage a warranty as it would save the money and hassle of replacement but I also didn't love the idea of replacing a known shit AIO with a new known shit AIO.
