anyways so my friend built his gaming PC last year and this year he wants to upgrade his CPU cooler to an liquid cooler his old cpu cooler which is cooler master 212 evo is one years old in my country this cpu cooler is around 45$ to 50$ and i have a little bit of money to spend i want to spend more on my Graphic Card because i will game a lot
anyways he will give me this cpu cooler for around 5$ to 10$ so i want to know if it's risky to use it or not? i have an i5 6600k in stock speed,

Its $5-$10, no harm done if it doesnt work, which will be unlinkely. the Hyper 212 EVO is just a fan with some metal tubes and fins. If it was broken, you would actually see a physical difference. If you really that unsure, tell him to test it out in front of you. 212 evo in the US, cost around $15 i think

I am 99% sure it will not malfunction then. Used parts such as expensive video cars, and CPUs are meh, but inexpensive coolers such as this have no risk.
