Aurora R16, liquid cooling unit replacement?

Dreaded 511 error CPU fan. What product is compatible with my Aurora R16 for replacement of the liquid cooling unit? I'm finding mixed results online. If anyone has suggestions, I'm happy up hear your input. 

Thank you

Most any 240mm AIO cooler will work . . . front mount or top mount.

DeepCool LS-520

Cryo-Tech AIO from earlier models

The OEM Alienware part will fit better (hoses all the right length, etc.), easier replacement/repair, and seems like it will just start working with AW-CC better. 

Are they still Asetek clones? Reason I ask is because both my Aurora-R1 and Aurora-R6 both still have their original (Asetek) liquid-coolers and they still work fine. I gamed on them both heavily over the years (also transcoded some videos). Maybe because I air-blow-out the machines every few years out in the drive-way (including fans and radiators). The R6 came with a Nvidia GTX-1070, and I upgraded the R1 to same.
