    So i just overclocked my rMBP's GPU using MSI afterburner. The graphics card is stable and temperature only went up by 1-2 degrees, so I'm not really afraid of burning it out or anything. My question is, though, does that really void my applecare? I mean sure, they say it does, but can apple tell if I overclocked my GPU on windows? I mean I can just reset the clock whenever I take it to them. So, can they tell if the GPU has been overclocked from before?

    EDIT: GPU is GT 650m, added 135 Mhz to the core and 650 to the memory.
