When I rebuild my PC at Christmas , I'll be hopeing to repaste my 2 970 galax ex OC GPUs with IC diamond

Do galax void the warrenty of I remove the Heatsink and fan ? Or should I contact them ?
 
I would contact them mate.

I have had Gigabyte GPUs and repasted them, but needed to RMA and they where fine with it.

Is there a warrenty sticker of any of the screws? If not, you should be ok providing you mount the cooler properly again. :)
 
What temps are you currently getting? And in all likelyhood you may only need to repaste the top card as it will always run hottest in an air cooled sli setup. For example, my top gtx 780 can get as high as 80c, bottom one has never been over 65c. Due to non reference coolers in a motherboard with a one slot gap.
 
I dont like it. Its course nature I have seen scratch the die. MX4 non conductive and easy to work with. Gelid the best.
