I believe even using a 3rd party heatsink on the processor voids the warranty as well. Modification of the chip (i.e. unlocking it) would void it as well, so there's no reason to think that pulling the foam pads off wouldn't.
Exactly...how can input a chip without removing the foam pads from around it in the case? Who are you RMA'ing to? Also you're right about the 3rd party heatsink.
