Reply: unless there's a sticker preventing the case door from opening, you can probably open the case safely without voiding the warranty.
however, if you start swapping out hardware components, there is a better chance of violating the warranty.
things like physical modifications or overclocking/overvolting almost always void warranties.

Reply: no swapping, just reseating
I have overclocked my previous comp and the warranty was ok...don`t know...
there is something in BIOS:
"Case opened status" --- it was saying "No" - now says "Yes"
...but I reseted it...

Reply: the bios can usually detect when the case is open at that time, but not necessarily if it has ever been opened in the past.
