I want to unlock my Sapphire 6950 to a 6970 but I have some questions

1. Is the life of the GPU really shorten
2. Does it worth it?
3. Do I need a new cooler(Example: Arctic Cooling Accelero)
4. Could something go wrong that can damage my PC?
 
Solution
Don't even try.

Newer 6950's were locked for a reason, infact amd destroyed the extra cores with LASERS.

If you fail at flashing, you can brick your card making it useless.

IMO not worth the risk!
