    Replacing the thermal paste won't void the warranty as long as you don't physically damage the card.
     
    MX-4 is a good choice for both GPU and CPU thermal compound. There are slightly better pastes out there, but not by that much.

    That YouTube video should give you a good idea of what to do.

    @arestavo Thanks mate for the fast response , yea i know there are a fev better thermal compound on the market , but the best one available in my shops here is the MX4 , but im happy with it on my CPU , but watching some of the test its only a fev degres difference , not that much. So im happy i can use the sam on the gpu ,  and of course i will try to not physically damage the gpu while doing the cleanup and Replacing the thermal paste.

    Thanks for the Video , this will help.
