Replacing Thermal Paste Void Warranty?

Hello,

I really want to replace the stock thermal paste on my 2080 Ti O11G but that requires breaking a small sticker on top a screw. Other companies allow you to open and even change the cooler as long as the user doesn’t damage anything with warranty still in tact. What’s ASUS policy on open our GPU?

*Thanks

***Moved to GPU section. Inquiries section is only for existing RMA issues per Sticky announcement***

In the US those stickers are now no longer legal. Not sure about Canada; you'd have to investigate Canadian laws regarding right to repair.

In honesty it didn’t stop me
I managed to drop the temps over 8 degrees by using thermal grizzly kryonaut and that enough reason for me to want to do it.
Sadly Asus, like all gpu venders use crap paste - that is the bottom line*
