I doubt you can void warranty in this case because thermal paste will almost always last for more than 2 years before it needs to be reapplied, which would be after the warranty period has voided already. But if you never build a pc on your own, it is indeed best to let someone reapply it that has the experience. | |

I think you're right about the cooler/thermal paste, as the ventilator is on full power the whole time, yet it does not cool the CPU sufficiently. If I buy a new ventilator, which would be best suited for my CPU (price is not an issue) | |
