If the cooler isn't working, your friend should want to replace the CPU and cooler. Not just the cooler.
So get whatever CPU matches the socket and a cooler for it.
Classic fans, while they make noise still work darn well.If I gotta do that, might just upgrade it to a 2700x :loudly_crying_face:

It can be good, but a lot of these closed units can't cope with an extreme situation.
Have you run an CPU stress testing on this desktop and see if it croaks?nope.. I can remote in and run it from work, but wont be able to reboot once it croaks..lol

Running stress tests against the CPU would at least tell you if the CPU is defective at this point. But it would be beneficial to actually be there to see it run.

They last for quite a long time. Definitely more than a year.
Dumb question but can your buddy see if the fans are spinning on this unit at all?
Generally the life of the machine. Since they are closed loop coolers they will last longer then that CPU has life.

Any particular one i should try run? Anything I should look for?

Thats what I figured. But I seen reviews plenty people have had problems. Of course it could be then did something to it..lol

No product is without defects. Could be the pump is too slow (or too fast) or the fan isn't spinning as expected.

Running Prime95 now, while he is watching youtube.. I also plugged in the corsair cooler to the usb. current cpu readings during start is about 75c. I enabled logging and will report back after it finishes or crashes.. which ever comes first..
-
So I ran it for an hour or so, using default settings in BIOS, no over clocking. I was able to log and export to xlsx if that would help anyone.

What kind of temps did you hit? (and did it crash, or run to completion?)

I think it finished.. It was avg 74c I have the log if you want it. This was not over clocked.. It was in default / "load optimal settings" in BIOS. Idle was avg 35-40c

That's 165.2° F.
That's damn hot

You can cook an egg.

That's damn hotIs 34 for idle too hot as well?
the log indicates "Liquid Temp" ranging from 36.5 idle, to 46.5 during testing
-
@smartkid808 165 isn't at all near cool.

Here is my desktop.

The 2U server I'm looking at right now is idling at 25°C = 77°F on the CPU (Xeon).
-
In looking at some of the reports on this CPU it maxes out at 75° C or 167° F considering this system wasn't under any major load for this time period I would think the unit is damaged.

And mine, way cooler on my AMD processor...
