    You can as long as you don't remove the warranty sticker on the back or scratch/drop/dent the card.

    Theblackmage, yes, you can change the thermal material. You should only need to remove the 4 spring screws around the core of the gpu and the one on the edge of the i/O shield to be able to remove the cooler

    Take pictures, especially if the thermal material looks bad.

    Arctic Silver 5 would be fine.

    Nutella would work better for a few days too. But I wouldn't reccomend it.

    I would not use AS5 as it has capacitive qualities and can cause issues if it gets on the capacitors around the core. Noctua, Artic Mx-4, gelid extreme and any other non capacitive /non conductive paste would be your absolute best bet.
