Will upgrading my cooler void the CPU warranty?

[brandonforty2]

Hello. I would like to upgrade my CPU cooler to the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo or maybe even the Cooler Master Hyper D92 but am worried that I will void my CPU warranty. Has anyone had any warranty problems while using one of these (having their warranty voided and not able to replace their CPU if it breaks)? After a lot of research and looking at my warranty book, I have found both answers so I don't know. Also, I have an Intel CPU.

Thank you, Brandon

Officially, the stock cooler is the only cooler supported under the cpu warranty. Using anything else does officially void the warranty as does overclocking. I don't see any way for anybody to prove which cooler you were using if something happens. I've never had an issue with this.

I actually never put too much thought into it.
Technically yes, it does void your warranty as the stock cooler is what the manufacturer wants you to use.
That being said, whose going to know what cooler you use once you remove it?
