7700k micro-scratch on face of processor (not on heatsink side)

[Grim_Gust]

I was installing 7700k into the MOBO and somehow touched the CPU's pin side with the CPU socket lever. I noticed that it left a micro-scratch that can only be seen with a magnifying glass.

I have one question: Am I fu***d now?

Thank you.

No, as long as the pads make contact with the right pins in the socket you're fine

You're fine as cheemajorp said, as intel uses Land Grid Array (LGA) instead of Pin Grid Array (PGA).
