Well not much, from what I understand modifications void the warranty only for the items they effect. So if you put it on the processor you're "effecting" the processor.

your warranty is void if you open your laptop, the problem is that if you do it right, dell/techies will not know you opened the laptop previous to them opening themself

You could probably get away with that if you got it all off and put something simular to what it had OEM.

I haven't taken apart my 1705 yet but I imagine it's one of those cheap thermal sticker things, doubt they used white thermal grease...

i guess ill tell you know, i doubt even if they did find it, that they would care at all.... most of the tech ppl that work for them could care less, they just get their job done and thats all

When I took mine apart it looked like paste and not a thermal pad, but was pretty thick in its application. The AS5 helped some, I noticed a couple of degrees difference but bigger change was how fast it cooled/heated. Seemed before AS application it took a lot longer to cooldown when coming back from load. There are pads on the chipset and GPU memory chips. But without some sort of shim application in those places was not really possible. So only ended doing the proc and GPU.
