Will reapplication of thermal compound on the Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 gaming void the warranty?

I would say there is a 99% chance that it would.

Given that you have to take off the heatsink, yes.

 

Also, I wouldn't worry about replacing thermal compound unless you're having thermal issues that actually require a repaste. If there's nothing wrong with the card, don't void your warranty as something may happen later that requires a warranty fix.
