Right, with a hs on it and fan uplugged it would take a while to cook only if there is thermal compound on it, If not i could fry very quick.... as far a scratching the core that could kill it also but now i have seen people crush two corners and it still works fine, then others just scratching it and ka-poot dead...
so in your case i dunno...
