Is there anything wrong with using an old alo?

[Spartaton]

Just tore apart my old PC and it had a 120mm all in one cooler. It could be up to 7 years old (bought the PC used so I don't know exactly). I know for a fact I'll be using an i7-960 and I plan to overclock. As someone who knows nothing about liquid cooling there's a couple things I want to know:

Is there any reason why I shouldn't reuse it at all?

I would probably need to buy a new fan for it (but I do have thermal paste). With that in mind is it still worth it or should I just spend $10 more and get something like a Hyper 212?

Do you have the proper mounting hardware for LGA 1366 ?

try it - if it still works then you're fine

if it doesn't work then you always can get that $10 Hyper 212

 

AiO's usually have 3 to 5 year maintenance free warranty

Well it was mounted to the same components before. I'm not sure about the back plate as it's screwed to part of the case. I don't know if it's for structural reasons (because the back plate is plastic) but I figured I can find that out myself. I'm just seeing if there's any reason not to reuse something that I may not know about.

I intend to test anything I consider reusing before I actually spend money. Like I said above, I'm just seeing if there's any reason not to reuse something that I may not know about.

As for the Hyper 212 I intended to say it's $10 (give or take) more expensive than a new fan.
