Used AIO??

[Legendaryk4]

 Hey, local guy is selling a used kraken x62 for $80. Would you buy a used AIO? 

 

Thanks

I would not. There are simply things I would not trust used. For such a crucial part of the system, I'd want the assurance that it wasn't abused and the liquid never reached critical temps. That said, a new pump could die in a month and this could last 5 years.

Makes sense. For reference what else would you not buy used?

 

Thank you.

Thank you.

SSDs that do not report read/write cycles, HDDs period, peripherals (mild germaphobe), and anything without a return period that I could not visually inspect. Unless it was like $5-20 at a garage sale... then whatever. A gamble every now and then doesn't hurt.

I would do it, depending on the exterior condition of the part but that's just me.
