Response and Service Request History:
Do you happen to have your CPUs serial number by any chance? I am curious which batch it came from and I would like to look this information up. This is rather impressive with these specs at this temperature.

Dear Rhys,
Your service request : SR #{ticketno:[---------]} has been reviewed and updated.
Response and Service Request History:
The voltage has little to do with voiding your warranty, however knowing overclocking the CPU and using a third party heatsink and fan does automatically void the warranty as is clearly listed on our warranty agreement which is included with a retail boxed CPU and on our website located in the following link.
http://support.amd.com/us/warranty/P...arLimited.aspx
I was originally curious as to which batch this CPU came from, but due to this previous e-mail considered any and all warranty for your CPU as void due to multiple infractions in relation to your CPU including, but not limited to the use of a third party heatsink/fan (watercooling) and overclocking.
