Greetings to you all.
As the title states, I have a EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER XC Hybrid gaming graphics card. The AIO pump started making a not so fun sound the other day and temperatures began to rise greatly. I immediately shut the system down and yanked the card out, replacing it with an old, trusty, EVGA GeForce GTX 970 FTW+ GAMING ACX 2.0+. I contacted EVGA and was told the card is out of warranty based on when I purchased it (Dec 2019). There are no replacement parts for the AIO nor replacement AIO's available.
I've been building PCs since the late 90's. I am fairly handy when it comes to parts and swapping things around. I yanked cowl and pump off the 2070S and have cleaned everything. I did not find any identifying marks or part numbers on the pump. I don't want to make a "custom loop" - I'm looking to find something that'll just pop right on (if possible). I don't want to give up on this card as it has some sentimental value and, frankly, it was working fine and dandy until the pump died. I've never had a video card give out on me and I'm not going to just toss this in the recycler if I can just swap an AIO pump/radiator onto it and get back to work.

ould something like EVGA's CLC 120 or 240 fit the existing card/plate (will the bolts line up)? Do I have any pre-existing options that aren't going to cost me more than the cost of a new video card. This is the first problem I've ever had with any of my EVGA products and so I'm sort of at a loss.
Thanks for any ideas or help you can point my direction.
