@smartkid808 165 isn't at all near cool.

That's 165.2° F.
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
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...

yeah, considering under light load my AMD is 23° C, that one should not idle at 75° C.

so CPU possibly damaged? I am still waiting for Corsair to get back to me.. I'm thinking the AIO went out and only cooling by the metal on the heatsink.. That was my gut feeling from the begining.. FAWK

CPU might be damaged from being run so hot. But most likely it is just a failure of the cooling system.

Has anyone been able to get corsair (or similar) to pay for damaged CPU?

Not when you overclock.
Overclocking voids your warranty options in almot every case.

On the server I'm looking at IPMI says 79°C would cause a high temperature alarm, 82°C would be critical high and at 84°C the server will shut down.

Yeah, the term overclocking means going beyond the spec. While someone could in theory allow you to do so within warranty, absolutely no company ever actually will.

Two problems. The overclocking obviously, but also it is being run after the cooler died. Even if they warrantied other parts, and no one does, you definitely won't get them to pay because of either of those issues.
But Corsair definitely does not warranty the durability of the CPU that they are cooling. It's the job of the CPU and mobo to monitor and shut down if it goes beyond spec.

You need to get a new cooler first. OC is for people who don't care about a stable and reliable system. That's why Xeons are underclocked. Hopefully its not that bad, but it's possible that you fried the CPU.
-
What @Pete-S is saying is the CPU might be able to operate fine with a good working CPU cooler. Which can save you some money by not having to replace both the CPU and the cooler.
It's an option, but that CPU should be a bit cooler than is listed in your report there.

I did not mention this to Corsair in the ticket.. Hopefully they respond today.
Should I let him use it only for youtube and basic stuff? Get a temp cooler, or buy new one and sell the one the replace (if they replace it)? It seems stable enough doing that. I know not ideal..
It ran great for about a year OC..
Since I have to buy a new one (not sure how long they will take to replace, if they will).. Should i buy the new RGB model (with pretty lights to go with his other lights), which is $160, or purchase the 2700x with heat sink for $300.. I would say go Intel, but then I would have to buy a new board..

@smartkid808 switching to Intel isn't an option if your goal is to spend as little money as possible to fix this issue.
First see if you can get a replacement cooler, run the tests again and see how the system performs.
If the temps are still high, find another CPU and install that.
If warranty covers the cooler, you're only out the cost of a replacement CPU.
Also I always recommend buying CPUs with provided heatsinks and fans as warranty covers them if they fail.

But why? AMD makes really great stuff, especially in this space.

And not practical in any way. It's like blowing your tired from driving over nails and then switching from Ford to Chevy because of it. It's an unrelated factor.

Unless you overclock. Also something most of us don't recommend, but we understand why gamers do it.
