Just wondering if I install an EK full cover water block on an EVGA graphics card if it will void warranty. I have searched but can't find much about it, a link to a source if anyone knows an answer would be perfect.

P.S. Happy Holidays!

No it won't. 

 

This is part of the reason EVGA is so highly recommended because installing waterblocks or modding doesn't void your warranty.  If anything were to go wrong, as long as your return it with the stock heatsink attached, you will be good to go.

With pretty much any other company you would indeed lose you warranty. EVGA is supposed to be different from the rest though: http://www.evga.com/support/faq/?f=57720.
