Yes, you can clean the inside of your system without voiding your warranty.
If you happen to break something while doing it then they can refuse a warranty repair so you need to be careful.
Have a read through the Service Manual and see if it is something you are happy to attempt yourself. If you remove the heatsink assembly then you will need to replace the thermal paste on the CPU and GPU. You may be able to clean the fans without removing the heatsink though.
