No, I think you'll only void the warranty if you remove the cooler or change the BIOS.

I fix computers and computer accessories... sometimes... when I want to...

Technically yes if you tell them you have OC'd, but overclocking leaves no evidence as it is done by software.

Absolutely

Know your limits. Don't fry your card. If you stay within voltage limits set by EVGA in precision x and MSI in afterburner, then you will be fine.

Why get Vapor-X? You'll have hard time finding the block because it use custom PCB. Tri-X use reference PCB.
