May have killed my D5, is there a solid way to test?

[Damascus]

Accidentally ran it dry 3-4 times when I didn't unplug the molex stuff as I was testing boot.  Now it doesn't seem to move water very well/at all.  I'm suspicious of the cpu block being clogged somehow and looking into that but I'm not hopeful.  Any "life tests"?

 

That said, if I can't continue using it I may get a DDC (Bork off Enderman,  I know it's not as good but D5s are way to big for me)

 

Maybe an ehiem from alphacool?  Or just get a new D5 and stick it in my pumptop.

Take out the pump and impeller and inspect the ceramic bearing, it should be shiny and highly polished any scratches or marks in it and it should be replaced as it is being worn or scored by the impeller's bearing surface.

@W-L If it's busted where can I get a replacement?  Dazmode hopefully

No the ceramic bearing on the pump is irreplaceable and is much harder than the one in the impeller. If it is worn the impeller bearing wears first so it is replaceable from my knowledge but I have no idea where one would source it. It might require the whole impeller to be replaced.
