Hello!

I was wonder,

Would it be ok to try to unlock the two extra cores?

I see some places say you should, and some say you shouldn't.

Please reply!

thanks!

If the core/cores are unstable, you turn them off. If they are stable, you use them. Im not aware of any instability of cores causing any damage to hardware in this scenario.

Well, what risk does it pose to the computer?

Well the easiest way i can say it is you'll know. Either they wont work, wont boot, wont show, terribly high temps, error screens, but basically, you'll know :lol:
