I'm just going to stick some new TIM on my Lightnings, was just wondering if anyone knew if MSI was cool like EVGA about not voiding your warranty over it. I can't get a solid answer out of Google, just wondering if anyone knew for sure. Thanks guys.

CPU: Intel 5930k cooled by H110i GT Mobo: MSI X99S XPower AC RAM: 32GB Dominator Platinum 2800mhz GPU: 2x MSi Lightning 290x SSD: 512GB 850 Pro HDD: 4&2TB WD Black PSU: Corsair AX1500i Case: Corsair 900D Monitor: 3xVG248QE  Keyboard: Logitech G910 Orion Spark  Mouse: Logitech G700s  Headset: Astro A50

I like chocolate milk.

Is there a sticker on the mounting screw? 

My gaming 3g had one. If its removed then the warranty would be voided.

 

Im not sure about the Lightning though since its an enthusiast card.

Like @Pohernori said the lighting may be different do to being an enthusiast card. but your best bet is asking MSI. I've only ever had to use the warranty once with graphics cards, but it is nice to have.

Am I the only one around here who really doesn't like pcpartpicker?
I also like Ubisoft and Origin/EA          Guess I'm just odd that way.

Interestingly enough, the stickers aren't on any of the mounting screws so far as I can tell.

Guess I'll have to contact them directly, thanks guys.
