P6-2010scm video card replacement and warranty

Hello, so im gonna replace my video card, but does this void my warranty? I want to replace the HD 6450 with HD 6670. Should this be fine or is my warranty gone if i switch it? And is there manual for P6 which shows how to replace video card?

Please use plain text.

which one of these is your PC?

Here are instructions on how to replace the card. I am unsure if doing that that will void your warranty. If you have an issue with the PC while it is still in warranty, be sure and reinstall the original video card before sending it in. Keep the original video card handy just in case.

 

The video card is actually a client replaceable part. If there is no warranty sticker at the removable part of the PC case then there is certainly not a problem. The standard warranty is one year.

I am unable to find any information on a p6-2010scm. There are too many alphanumeric characters at the end. The list of p6-2010 models that I supplied are all for different countries (markets). be is Belgium, ru is Russia, i is Italy and so forth. Open the HP Support Assistant. At the bottom of the windows there is a product name. Please post that one.  Yours is still in the same series as the others. The link I gave you applies to yours as far as replacing the video card goes. I checked out the HD6670. It does not require a six-pin PCIe power plug.

HP Support Assistant says too its p6-2010scm. Probably this model is only in Finland? And i know my thread is old, but i had to answer still to this. And the HD 6670 has been working fine and now i can play games like GTA IV on 1920x1080 and high. =)
