try it and see, Run OCCT for an hour.
just press unlock and pray
Unlocked mine some time ago and never had an issue. To be fair I don't think I would be stressing the CPU before it was unlocked so nowhere near stressed now.
Core unlocking is not to do with stressing, at least not directly.
it's called stress TESTING for a reason, you are testing the component under high stress situations which are most likely to show up faults, it doesn't mean that the faults are not there when not under high stress.
In fact it coould be far worse under light load as faults might be intermittent which would leave you with a randomly unstable system.
An unlocking is not successful unless it can hold up under stress testing.
And the success will be down to the reason for the binning of that individual cpu.
