    If I were to do my own repaste following one of the guides here, would that in any way void my completecare warranty? Id assume it wouldnt considering it's completecare.

    As long as the process of repasting did not cause the failure your OK.

    So if done correctly your fine. :)

    From a T&Cs standpoint, opening it up, taking it apart and repasting it probably is invalidating your warranty.

    But, in reality, assuming you don't make a complete hash of the job it will be unnoticeable - so in the event you do need to make a warranty claim, you'll be fine.
