I don't know that for a fact - but I do know that companies fuck me with warranties all the time when they want to get out of paying for things so that was my immediate thinking. If something is obviously not damaged and has been designed (as is typical in our modern era) to not be opened, lack of any clear indications of opening should not constitute voiding the warranty on its own. the other poster's argument that it interrupts chain of custody is a bit stronger of an argument, but at the same time - this sounds like a great way to fuck customers who participate in the resale market even if the original company could theoretically fix a 3rd party sale of a core product. Good luck recovering these, EVGA, have fun
