1.3 Important Warranty Void Notice
WARNING: Damage caused from unauthorized thermal modification
will not be covered under warranty. The MAX-15 includes a highly
advanced thermal system as a standard with excellent heat dissipation.
Eluktronics does offer further cooling advancements as an option for
customized purchases completed on Eluktronics.com. If you selected
this option, it has already been carefully applied and contained by a
certified technician. It is strongly discouraged to attempt thermal
changes on your own if you did not opt for this upgrade or if you
purchased your PC from a different marketplace. Eluktronics does
offer the option to have your thermals upgraded for a fee by a certified
professional. However, the stock thermals are already more than
enough to enjoy a very high-performing experience!
NOTE: Upgrading memory and/or storage can be easily accessed and
modified on your MAX-15. However, modifying your thermals is NOT worth
the serious risk of voiding your warranty or more importantly damaging your
PC. It is important to understand a motherboard on a laptop is not the same
as a desktop PC. The processor and graphics card are both soldered on to
the board and a replacement would be very costly.
