Do I void my warranty by opening up my graphics card

[almoststew1990]

My graphics card is getting a build up of dust in it. I would like to clean out the heatsink and fans but it has "warranty void if removed" stickers over two of the four GPU cooler mounting screws. I know it seems pretty clear that if I remove the "warranty void if sticker removed" my warranty would be void but in practice does OCUK take a fairly sensible approach with "tampering" with the graphics card? I.E In the event of an RMA, if I admit I had taken it apart to clean it and reapplied thermal past sensibly etc would they still honour the warranty?

It's an XFX 390X.

Im not sure about XFX but I know certain brands will still honour the warranty if the cooler has been removed as most company's understand that folk will water cool there cards.

it is worth checking XFX's stance on this though.

I know my self I like to clean my card pretty regular I take it its passed the compressed air point?

My old Msi 7950 was stripped on a few occasions so was my gainward 970 but im reluctant to strip the strix 970 as im on my 3rd under warranty..

Sounds like you can, might want to double check in CS though
