My motherboard is an MSI A520M_A Pro. The issue arose when installing the air radiator, causing a scratch on the board. Despite this, the computer functions normally, processor tests show no problems, and temperatures remain high. After entering BIOS, everything seems operational. I’m worried about potential damage to components or capacitors. Could you explain why this path matters, especially since it’s near the processor socket? What steps should I take to protect the board and ensure long-term reliability? Also, will this board still work in the future? Please reply soon.

It's fine. The issue is just surface-level.

It should be okay. The issue is mainly the surface coating getting worn out. Be aware that cheaper boards often have limited performance, and adding more than six cores can actually slow things down for these units.

Get better visuals to check for major harm to the traces. The photo suggests the varnish coating was removed, so leave it as is and avoid any changes. If you're still concerned, bring it to a repair shop for solder mask application.

Certainly! The wiring in the tracks remains intact, and it shouldn't impact the computer's performance.

The image is the most straightforward. You can try scratching the track with a screwdriver. Is there a method to confirm there are no issues?

I believe this addresses the issue. It requires sufficient damage to penetrate the outer coating and reach the inner conductive layer of a PCB. Surface scratches are simply minor surface marks.
