Replacement Pump-Res-Cpu block combo

[frutmonkey]

I had a Ryzen 3950X and Asus Pre-water cooled RTX3090(Lucked out in the shortage) all running through a 280 Radiator with the problematic Barrow Pump-Res-Cpu block combo(https://www.newegg.com/p/2YM-003T-001B0?Item=9SIAY93FJV7387).

 

Honestly, this build worked well, perhaps the pump was louder than I'd like, but more importantly, the pump died after a year. The case I'm using is the meshlicious(https://ssupd.co/products/meshlicious) so I don't have a lot of room to work with.  I ordered a second one and replaced it, did the yearly cleanout of GPU block to get rid of any Gunk, and thought I was good.  That was a year ago, and guess what, this one also died a year in.  I don't think I did anything dumb that would cause it to fail but posting picks if my loop looks dumb. 

 

I wanted to try a different replacement [https://www.ekwb.com/shop/ek-quantum-velocity2-ddc-4-2-pwm-d-rgb-am5-nickel-plexi]. 

The problem is that block only has AM5 compatibility, and although my understanding is AM4-AM5 coolers often fit, this looks like one of the times it won't. 

 

So anyone know if the EK Combo could be adapted?  Is there another Pump-Res-CPU block combo that I don't know about?  Is there a better way to deal with this problem?
