Hi, first time writing here.

Anyway, my Matrix gets pretty hot when playing games or doing other stressful stuff, I'd say after maybe 30 minutes of playing the fan kicks up to a 100% which mean it's probably above 95C. This is in stock settings, no overclocking.

So I'm wondering if it's allowed to remove the GPU cooler and heatsink to re-apply the thermal compound with some new, but will this void the warranty ?

yes and yes and yes.
if you break some thing you sit there whit a card you can not return at al.
if you want to take the chance to replace the TIM then do so.
