Does the Visiontek allow after market heatsinks without voiding warranty?

their warranty states this

* Damaged while being installed
* Damaged by software or hardware by someone other than VisionTek or by motherboard incompatibility/design
* Damaged by tampering, user error, disaster, misuse, neglect, abuse, power supply, power application, alteration, repair, modification, a fix or replacement by an unauthorized technician that in any way affects its performance or reliability.

several people have said that they allow after market coolers but I don't see it anywhere.
Damaged by tampering.....I think this says it all BUT I have to ask if someone knows something else about this.
 
My guess, just from looking at what you pasted there, would be that AM coolers are technically allowed. However, I would venture a guess that they will blame almost any sort of problem (at least physically based) on the modification, and void the warranty.

In other words, I'm thinking that they worded it that way to make it look good.

However, if someone has a personal story to the contrary... kudos to VisionTek!
 
Just dont tell them.

well when you try to send it in for warranty work they can tell form the factory goop that you changed it out.


Even though there a people saying that visiontek allows 3rd party coolers. I don't believe they are going to honor a warranty on it.
 
dumb question but why not just ask them? Visiontek is an American company I believe should be easy to get a hold of.
