well, if you did not have watercooling for the nvidia nforce chip then you probably only lost the warranty for your cpu, not the mainboard

and the problem with the ram:
the dfi lanparty nf4 has serious problems with some ram types. the ram could really be ok an working in other pcs

afaik you also lose the warentry of your Maiboard even if you just cool your CPU. Because the Powertransformator (in German: Spannungswandler) need to be cooled be air or with a passiv cooler.

but i haven't seen any mainboard which says specifically in the manual that it needs aircooling on the cpu so that the mainboard is cooled.
