Is it possible to not void warranty by bringing my macbook pro retina to Apple so the apple technician can apply ic diamond on gpu and cpu?
Or will warranty be voided and will the apple technician even be able to do that?

To do that the unit would need to be disassembled. Not sure any apple tech in a apple store would do that. But maybe a authorized Apple repair center would for a fee.
Why do you want to do this? Is the system getting hot and you think changing the thermal compound will help?
If the system is getting excessively hot take it into a apple store and ask to have it fixed. All the retina models are still under warranty.
I also suggest your buy the applcare extended warranty if you haven't already. You have to buy it before the one year warranty has ended.
Thanks for the information but I need to know if the authorized apple repair center can apply thermal paste ic diamond on the macbook pro retina without voiding warranty. I want to do this because I want the temperature as low as possible and that means the performance, battery life and lifespan of the laptop is as high as possible. I think any macbook pro under full load would get hot and i've searched about thermal pastes and it does have a significant effect on temperatures if done correctly so it will definitely help.
The point isn't that it would or wouldn't void warranty. It's simply not something that Apple will do for you. Apple will fix a problem with the computer - for example, if the unit was clearly overheating outside of its normal specifications under normal usage, that's something they would address. But they have their own methods of correcting problems - it might be economical for them to just replace the computer, for example. They won't mod your computer for you, or take instruction how to do repairs.
If it's something that you want to go ahead and do anyway, whether by yourself or through a (non-AASP) technician, then yes, that would almost certainly void the warranty.
