Looks like it is an OEM version. But heck still give it a 90 day warranty. In my 3 years of experience as a shop tech, I have never seen a cpu go bad all by itself. It was always an external event that caused failure such as lightning strike, overclocking, cooling fan failure, bad power supply to name a few.

If your going to buy an aftermarket cooler I'd say a good bet.
You'll notice within 90 days if the cpu is bad.
Just run a stress test.
