Two days ago I re-applied the thermal paste on my CPU and saw some marks on both the CPU and the fan heatsink. I thought it might have been too tight during assembly, and I’m hoping someone can identify what those marks look like. It’s been two days now, and the PC is running smoothly with normal temperatures.

Well, you've got some scratches on your GPU, but it doesn't seem like a major problem. Are there any other issues you're experiencing?

Thanks for the reply. I’m doing fine and haven’t encountered any problems so far. Just wanted to clarify that I wasn’t concerned about potential issues later.

It’s only when an event occurs that you’ll have a clearer understanding, probably due to circumstances beyond your control.
