So recently I've decided that I should repaste and clean out my g73jw as standard maintenance after over a year and a half of use. I have a few questions after doing some research that are specific to my case:
Are CPU/GPU temperatures of 86-88C/93C under loadnormal for my system without a cooling pad? I used BurnInTest for the CPU stress test, and FurMark for the GPU. Both tests were ran for just over 10minutes, where I saw temperatures plateau for about 4 minutes. Idle temperatures are 68 for the cpu and 58 for the gpu.
Will my 2 year global warranty cover routine maintenance for repasting and cleaning? I was under the impression that my warranty was to be used in the event of something going wrong, and not necessarily maintenance.
Should I get it services at a local shop, and if I do so, will it void my warranty? I've read mixed things about this; some say that if it is not damaged, you warranty is fine. Others say that repasting always voids warranty. I'd like to get it serviced in front of me where I can watch, and probably learn a thing or two first hand. I've also heard horror stories about Asus RMA, and how damage could be blamed on me and just be a real headache, not to mention if they paste it carelessly like I've heard they do.

They will be able to repaste without concern of voiding the warranty.
