Yes, following Intels rules, they did invalidate the warranty. The fact remains that there is not a direct cause and effect relationship. Water cooling did not cause the thermal shutdown to fail. Any type of failed cooling device could have been used, whether it is factory air or water, and the thermal shutdown still would have failed.
