You would void warranty.

You would need fittings, backplates and the actual cooling block to water cool it. You would need things like a reservoir and tubing

You would need a waterblock for the card, a pump, a reservoir, coolant, tubing, a radiator(s) and fittings (and a CPU block if cooling CPU too). Or you need a compatible AIO mount and AIO cooler. 

 

Yes, installing watercooling will void the warranty with MSI. There are some brands, like EVGA, who will cover your card under warranty even after watercooling. 

 

EDIT: Seems like MSI do cover you when changing the cooler, provided you do not damage the card during the process and you keep the original cooler.

You can call them and ask the support line, but usually it is a violation of their warranty policy.  I know of people who've used a heat gun and an X-acto blade to remove the stickers, but not an ethical practice.

I would still say it is better to contact MSI directly, just to make sure

I'd agree, but I know more companies are being lenient with it, especially with the FE because you're not pulling of "their" cooler.

It's allowed, but don't expect anything when damaging the card when you do the installation.

I NEEDED WINDOWS 10 64-BIT SO BADLYxD



 

The awesome build

Ram: DDR400 2.5 GB   GPU: It's big, that's all I know   Case: A red box   Motherboard: My mother hates me   HDD: I don't have one, I threw it against the wall and it broke, so it is a softdrive   CPU: Intel Pentium 3, Quake get's rekt   OS: Microshaft Winblows XP

 

Here comes a beast of a laptop, the TravelMate 5742, it's so bad (get the reference )

Ram : 4 GB DDR3 SDRAM  (1066Mhz)     CPU :  Intel Core i5 480M / 2.66 GHz (It turbo's up to 2.93 GHz)     GPU :  Intel HD Graphics     HDD : 500GB (5400 rpm) OS : Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit (Build 1607)

After having a look at MSI's warranty for the card, it is somewhat vague in some places. Definitely would advise @razor007 to email MSI support and get a confirmation of warranty coverage in writing.

MSI does not void the warranty for adding a waterblock.  Most of the board partners don't.  EVGA is another one that for sure doesn't.  

CPU: Ryzen 1600X @ 4.15ghz  MB: ASUS Crosshair VI Mem: 32GB GSkill TridenZ 3200
GPU: 1080 FTW PSU: EVGA SuperNova 1000P2 / EVGA SuperNova 750P2  SSD: 512GB Samsung 950 PRO
HD: 2 x 1TB WD Black in RAID 0  Cooling: Custom cooling loop on CPU and GPU  OS: Windows 10
