Any experts with BFG warranty?
Anyone out there know if opening the shroud of a 9800gx2 and reapplying paste to the GPU will void warranty?

My card is going up as high as 105C playing L4D2 and BFG tech support told me to RMA it. But if warranty is voided by opening the card, then I rather not waste money and time shipping it.

Yeah, you should just reapply the paste and clean up the fan.

Ezekiel 25:17. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

there are some temp sensors that max out at 105C (not the correct temp) which means that that piece could be broken...can you confirm that it changes?
