So I recently bought a R5E and am planning to watercool when EK releases their Clean wb. However this requires me to remove the top mosfet/io cover. I was hoping to keep the io cover, but due to the heatpipe connecting the two I cannot. I could just remove it from each other but that would in turn void the warranty. I guess I had to just buy the part. I called Technical Support, and they directed me to the eStore #. I called them up and they demanded i require a part number which the Technical side cannot provide. Is there anyone that can help me in this situation.

No, they don't.

If you really want to keep the I/O cover, what you can do is cut off the heatpipe that connects to it.

Any modifications done to the motherboard will void the warranty.

Correct. There would be no warranty.
