If I took apart the EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra card by breaking the EVGA seal, and replace with kryonaut paste, will my warranty be voided?
 
Thank You

    No. This has been answered hundreds of times. The sticker is just to verify you didn’t modify the card in any way. Removal of the cooler and thermal paste change is allowed .

    No..See Does water-cooling or installing a third party cooling solution on my video card void the warranty? in the EVGA FAQs.
     
    Installing third party cooling solutions does not void warranty on our products. Just be sure to keep the original cooling solution as it will have to be on the card if it is ever sent in for RMA. Any physical damage such as burn marks, water residue or damage, or any damage to the PCB will void ALL warranties.
     
    That includes thermal paste and thermal pads too..A broken seal/sticker just lets EVGA/others know that the card has been opened up, that's all.

    if the seal on any sticker is damaged EVGA would do a more in depth inspection is you send card in for RMA
     
    take you time & be careful not to cause damage to the card & changing TIM & pads is OK

    If I add additional thermal pads at the back of the PCB to let it touch the back plate, then will my warranty get voided because of that?  I know if I caused physical damage then yes it will be voided.  Thank You
