I removed my CPU heatsink to re apply thermal paste and when I cleaned it with IPA the surface scratched. Should I be concerned and is it OK to use?

My ASUS Strix GTX 1070 started to have coil whine in games even with V Sync enabled at 60 FPS.
Is it possible for a GPU to develop this over time and should I be worried?
I was removing my GPU and accidently scratched the mobo, will this be an issue at all? Any long term effects or do I need to buy a new one?

I noticed my GPU whines under load, but its not the same noise at idle.
Do you think my GPU could be messing with the power delivery on my motherboard?
I have tried multiple B550 AORUS Elite motherboards and I still get coil whine on them despite changing it.
My specs are:
Ryzen 5 3600
GIGABYTE B550 AORUS ELITE
ASUS STRIX GTX 1070 8GB
Corsair RMx 650W PSU
I have tested the system with a different PSU which is an EVGA SuperNOVA GS 550W Gold...
