Should I remove the sticker on the back of a GPU?

Camtrip · Feb 5, 2014

Just got my first video card ever (gtx 770 4gb) and I'm looking through the little window on the back and it says warranty voided if removed, does that mean I leave it on there even when it's plugged in an running? It seems like the sticker would melt or something? Should I take it off?

tl;dr Do I take the warranty sticker off the back of a GPU?

Leave it on, I had a sticker on my gtx 460 for years with no problems. It's not like the entire card gets hot, only the gpu.

Off topic, why did you go with the 4gb 770? That version is meant to be used in SLI and you won't see a performance difference between that and the 2gb version.

I decided to future proof (lol) my system a bit and got everything set up so that this fall all I have to do is drop in another 770 and pick up a second monitor

this is my build (minus a 770 and a ram set.)

OK, just trying to save you some money if you had no need for 4gb, but it sounds like you do.

It's cool, I made sure I understood what exactly vRAM does before I made the decision, because when I first started I had the common misconception that "OMG, 4GB, MLG, SWAG" lol.
