Mine was under warranty too but I went ahead with opening it for SSD, Ram change and repasting.
If you are careful then aren't you safe and not voiding the warranty?

Well , it's not that I haven't opened my lappy in the past . Technically , I have voided it's warrant already by opening it's for cleaning, but I have not tampered the seal ( Yes , I managed to open it without tampering the seal over the screws. Have devised a method for that.).
But the last time I opened , I did realize what a PITA it can be to dismantle it and bring it all back together. Mine , is not such an easy one top open and pack them back. If something goes wrong , I just don't want them to find it out. )
And right now , I am not gaming too much. ( Stressed from office work. ) , so the laptop barely surfaces anything above 75C even if it is powered on 24x7.

I suggest you do the same. It has made a difference of almost 10 degrees in my case.

You may also opt for IC Diamond for a couple of extra degrees but it is not available in India.

No need as current GPU temp never exceeds 88 deg under full load and 921 Mhz OC. But I wish I could do the replacement when i had the XPS15.

88 is pretty damn hot but safe albeit barely.
Earlier I used to reach 92, now I stay at 83.

its the max, the GPU does not always run at 88 deg :), it says near 78-85, in extremely heavy firefights or graphically intensive areas, it hits that temp, GPU-Z log says average temperature in Siege of Shanghai 64 player match at ultra settings it hovers at 80-85

thermal paste solution is great actually , but works better in Laptops which does not have good fans or heat pipes. Mine is okay till now, the day i will see some high 90's i will run to the SC :D

My GPU never goes above 75C , generally. Even when OC'ked it barely manages to reach 78-79C at extreme load.
CPU is entirely a different story , though. Rockets 90C just that like on two cores , maybe because it's IVB.

I trashed it today. Arctic silver works much better. I may make a better one when ambient temps increase further.

Rishi's mod should be stickied, so that people can see it more often, ideate, improvise and come up with more DIY cooling.

people can come up with mods if they are technologically creative enough. no need for it to be stickied.

having said that, i am in no way undermining Rishi's mod. he has done an excellent job. :)

80mm fans . power em up with at least 15v adapter. ( they are generally,12v ).

I have four 80mm fans running at 19.5v.

What is (required) current output in amps?
I am planning to make laptop cooler with one LED fan and USB. Can I supply ebough voltage & amps from USB2.0 or USB3.0 port?

How you supplied current to LEDs by USB?
Afaik USB has 5V and 500mA which results in 2.5 watts!
Little bit detailed info would help as I am trying to make my own diy cooler from laptop box + 5v 80mm fan(Got it for free from comp repair shop :p ) + USB cables.
I want to add some blink blink too :p

I don't like the concept of running any fans or anything powered by my laptop. Instead I would suggest to use an external power brick of 12v , and use 12v fans .
The fans I had , 5v ones , barely did any good.
