Hello there. some days ago I decided to buy components for a new computer (my first computer ever, outside of a cheap laptop I had for over 3 years). the CPU is a ryzen 5 1600x, rx 580 asus strix, 16gb ram, asrock ab350m pro4 and a rosewill nautilus mid atx case.
at the time I was worried about the size of air coolers fitting in the motherboard and case, and decided to buy a liquid cooler, but as I had a budget locked at 80 dollars for the cooler I made a contentious decision of buying this chinese brand cooler ID Cooling Frostflow 240L.

I tried searching for bad reviews on leaking, disaster etc. but surprisingly I didn't find any (except things like broken LEDs, minor stuff).
unlike known brands like Corsair, NZXT etc, which is filled with bad reviews.
my main problem really is that I don't know what is ID Cooling stance on warranty, would they replace damaged components if their product suddenly fail? I don't have a garden of money growing trees to be able to afford these risks.
so I ask you guys, would it be appropriate to sell this cooler (still didn't even come from delivery, so i might be able to return I think) and buy a cheaper air cooler?
I was thinking about this

but anyways. all of the questions that I have are
what are the stance on warranty from ID Cooling? their site doesn't offer much information...
http://www.idcooling.com/Support/warranty
is it smarter to just return/sell and buy a safer alternative, at least for the peace of mind, or am I being too paranoid?
pcpartpicker list for my build (if I had all that money to spend at one time I would have a different build, but I bought some pieces before, like the SSD for my laptop and power supply for e-GPU.
