Ok I bought a GTX 1070 msi gaming x off of craigslist for $280. The guy I got it off said it was a warranty replacement because something went wrong with 1st one. He said he got tired of waiting and got a 1080 instead and decided to sell the replacement. Now for $280 I really didn't care if it was used or not, although he told me it was never used. He let me try it in my pc before buying it too. So props to him But lately the card started getting hot on me hitting around 90c-94c. When I first got it about 2 or 3 months ago It would sit around 73c full load. Well yesterday because I didn't want to hurt the gpu at all I voided the warrant and put thermal paste on it. Ice-diamond to be exact. Now when I first took it apart it seemed like there was barely anything on it, but now after on full load I am hitting 63c. This is also a custom fan profile. I want to know if there is anywhere to get those little warranty stickers? lol. I feel like just because someone needs to apply thermal paste that shouldn't void the warranty.. It's a pretty simple task to do. I tried to take the sticker off with no luck. It's a MSI warranty void sticker that goes on a screw that tightens down the heatsink to the gpu. Anywhere to get them at all?
