    3rd Party TIM/Cooler & GFX Warranty

    Just wondering if replacing the thermal paste with some AS5 or adding a new fan to a GFX card will void the warranty. I suspect it will, which is a bit awkward, but will make me think about performing the mod for now..

    Almost certain to void warranty so I'm waiting until warranty is up before I replace with Zalman v700 or v900 when released.

    I'm pretty sure both will void the warranty on a graphics card unfortunately.

    How will anyone ever know?

    IMO you have a right to replace the thermal paste, it's usally put on really crap.
