But it will cause even higher VRM temps and a VRM failure is pretty much guaranteed as current draw is around double that of nominal, even with the OCP.
For one thing, I wouldn't do it with stock cooling.

That seems to be something that a lot of people in this thread are forgetting. They say that this kind of behavior would be unacceptable from a CPU or RAM. But I personally have experience with several cases where high stress programs can crash certain CPUs at stock speeds with the stock coolers. Same thing with RAM - load up all four slots and you can find some memory that will overheat without additional cooling. It has also been the case where some hardware, including certain cpus, can fail even when given 100% valid instructions because of design errors. Those of you that don't think it has happened repeatedly in computer history haven't either don't have enough experience with computers or are willfully deluding yourselves.

Some other people seem to just be using this thread to bash AMD or to bash Tetedeiench, depending on their angle. You guys should just ignore this thread. You aren't being constructive and are just cluttering up the thread for the rest of us that just want to figure out what's going on.

And lastly, it's not as bad as some of you are making it out to be. For the 99% of users that don't use OCCT the 3 phase design is fine. For the rest of us there are 4 phase cards, OCP mods, luck, and/or...nVidia cards.
