Let put this deal into perspective.

-NZXT Kraken X53 240mm $80 with 90 day warranty.

Five days ago:
-Cooler Master ML240 Mirror ARGB 240mm AIO - $70 ($120 - $40 MIR - $10 w/ code B75DGAKDYT) NEWEGG (way longer warranty)
-Cooler Master ML240L RGB 240mm AIO - $42 ($67 - $25 MIR) NEWEGG (way longer warranty)

Eight days ago:
-Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML240 Mirror ARGB Close-Loop AIO CPU Liquid Cooler - $79.99 ($119.99 - $40 Mail in Rebate) NEWEGG (way longer warranty)
-Vetroo V360 360mm Radiator ARGB AIO CPU Liquid Water Cooler - $50.00 NEWEGG

25 days ago:
-ID-COOLING AURAFLOW X 240 mm AIO White - $65.01 ($89.99-24.98) AMAZON

Is this the best cooler? No.
Is this the cheapest cooler? No.
Is this a deal? Perspective. It's no $50 Vetroo in 360mm. That was a no brainer.

Personally I'd pass on this. Let's keep in mind Woot was selling the NZXT Kraken X42 (140mm) for $80 a month ago. Woot has no idea how to properly price these items. They're simply going off current pricing they search on Amazon and cut a few dollars out for the limited warranty. There's no rhyme or reason beyond that.

Amazon sold these in their warehouse deals for $82 and most people reported it came in brand new all sealed in the box. So compared to that, this is a better deal.

In the description it says new.
I see this on the website in regards to returns

RETURNS, REFUNDS AND TITLE

Some items may not be returnable or refundable. At our discretion, a refund may be issued without requiring a return. In this situation, Woot does not take title to the refunded item. Woot does not take title to returned items until the item arrives at our fulfillment center.

My question is whether it is actually new. Woot is known to sell unsealed items as new. Likely returns. Im wary to give returned preapplied thermal paste a try

This is actually important. Their mfg warranty for their AIO's cover any damage to your PC's parts should it leak and damage them.

You're worried about the thermal paste? I'm not sure many coolers ship with thermal past applied, usually give you a small tube of it. And if was pre-applied, just looking at it will easily tell it was used(made any contact with the processor).

I have 2 Kraken AIO CPU coolers. One on my CPU (X63) and one on my GPU (X53). The newer models don't modulate fan speeds like the older ones do. Not sure why not.

I love that NZXT makes the G12 which you can use for most video cards. I add copper heatsinks to the VRAM and VRM. I modified it and brought my Radeon7 Junction temps from 100C to 80C.

I also picked up 2 of those Vetroo V360 coolers when they were on sale "just in case" I decide I need massive cooling. They aren't compatible with GPU's though, only CPU's.

This cooler, new, ships with thermal paste applied.

Also important to understand that a water pump going bad can be catastrophic, so being out of warranty poses a risk to your entire PC rather than just the pump itself.
