It's a really tough chip. I believe this component is essentially non-functional. Even if it's not fully broken, there will be significant loss of capability. Generally, people are correct when a tiny chip can still work, but this one is missing a substantial amount of its die.
You can anticipate how long before it fails and whether the damage will affect performance.
You pushed the 360 aio and 5GHz overclock for several hours under intense stress, aiming for a hardcore result. If it held up, you were confident in your setup. The question is: what were you really thinking? Were you using a quality tool or just a basic one? Did something slip up during the process? And what actually happened?
