PSU AX850 Warranty Question

[Bad Fenny]

Hello,

 

I am new to this forum and sorry if this question has been asked before or if it seems obvious.

 

I am a building a military themed pc mod with a distressed battle look (exterior/interior). While I won't be messing with my motherboard components or gpu, I would like to slightly distress the psu to give it a used look. This would include slight aluminum brushing along the psu edges (distressed use) and addition of rust paint to age it (this is not a complete repaint only limited application along the edges and chasis). In addition, I would be individually sleeving the psu cables. I will not be opening the psu or removing the warranty sticker.

 

My question is . . . will this void my warranty?

 

Any help for a newbie to this sight would be appreciated :confused:

 

Thanks

I do believe so. But you might want to get RamGuy to give the thumbs up/down

it would be better to have a mylar/vinyl label printed to adhere to it to give the look you want without modifying a thing.

also make sure the Corsair label is left untouched as this WILL void the warranty. if thats the side that is exposed you can put a piece of paper over it before adhering the suggested label so if ever a need for RMA you simply peel off the label you made and the Corsair label is intact.

You can do any thing you like to the PSU but the following you cannot do.

1. Remove or deface any PN#label or warning Label

2. Cut change or modify the case or cables.

So as long as you do not cover the labels or remove them you should be okay.

Ram Guy,

 

Thanks much. So I guess re-sleeving the cables will void the warranty . . . If I read that as modifying the cables.

[peanutz94]

Sleeving is okay too. They just do not want you to cut wires or change the connectors .

Thanks much . . . will continue with my sleeving project.

 

Cheers
