Not a major advantage at all, CPUs don't generally die in 3
years time unless subject to some extreme event not covered
by the warranty like user error or board socket /fastening
system breaking so heatsink fell off or fan died.
So at least you get warranty on the fan but buying a good
quieter fan you can expect 3 years of service as well.
