Cleaning the fans out would really help with with the overheating/noise issues, more so than your current makeshift methods
It really does void. Not so much a sticker, but black screws that "turn" silver when unscrewed. My makeshift methods are working find, though. Really. I mean its cooler than it ever was normally. Physically cold, instead of Not at all warm.

Besides, my cleaning involves taking apart the whole case due to the pop-spillage.
Every laptop I have ever bought has a warranty exception for accidental stuff; Dropping, crushing, drop kicking, beer dunking, etc.

That said, those screws are easy to repaint. ;)
