CM Glacer pump died.

[86 5.0L]

I've been using a Coolermaster Glacer 240L (v2 I believe) for 2.5 years now. I expanded it to include a GPU waterblock. Well the pump died and its integrated into the cpu waterblock. What options are there to replace it? Keep in mind this is all stuffed into a ncase M1 so space is at a premium. Are there any other block/pump combos besides the swiftech apogee?

Swiftech Apogee is the only cpu block/pump combo. If that 240l worked for you get a Hardware labs gts ultra 240 slim rad, any gpu block you want , any cpu block you want, a single bay res or a small tube res/pump combo. These should work looking at that case and going by what you had before.

The radiator has an integrated reservoir, there is zero space for a small one + extra lines anywhere. The AIO is serviceable so I can swap components as needed. Just need a similar pump/cpu block combo. But unless CM sells them seperatly looks like the apogee is the only option

Doesn't Alphacool sell something like that too? I think they call it the Eisbear?

Edit: yeah, they do.

for $65 you can get the whole kit

might be cheaper than finding another pump block combo.

Thanks for the links guys, the alphacool looks way to bulky/tall

And the $65 CM looks like it might be the V1 with the pumps that like to burn up.

I had an interesting idea, what about taking a corsair h100 apart and using that pump/block?

I've done almost exactly that, and recently:

The biggest challenge you'll have is priming the loop. Those pumps are super weak and have awful head pressure. They work great in a fully filled, fully bled system, but air is a big problem for them.

It's not impossible, just a pain in the sack.

I wonder which of the corsair AIOs has the best block/pump.... Hmmmm

EDIT: looks like the h100 pump is abysmal. 0.11GPM. No wonder you had trouble bleeding the loop

EDIT2:

H110 is a little better

The pump consistently produced a flow rate result of 0.25 GPM (gallons per minute) or 0.95 LPM (liters per minute).

Ended up going with a CM MasterLiquid pro kit for $46. I'll tear it down and see what the pump flow numbers look like

got the kit today, before I opened it, I started the teardown of the old setup. Starting digging out my tools and old WC supplies, and found an interesting solution... pictures uploading and a new thread will be up soon
