Ok, one sec

Gimme a minute, trying to find out. Is it a custom waterblock. If so, id recommend one from EK

1.Unauthorized changes of non MSI parts, modifications or alterations , parts removal in or to the products

 

2. Damage caused by operator error or operator fails to comply user manual instruction, such as, but not limited to improper storage resulting in product get wet, corrosion, fell off, squeezed or exposed to inadequate temperature/humid environment.

 

Things not covered by MSI warranty

It does look like there is a warranty void if removed sticker on one of the screws needed to take the heatsink off, so probably yes.

How long have you had the card?

3 months

In most cases, just removing the GPU cooler itself will void the warranty.
