Question damaged capacitor on motherboard while cleaning

[Khaaytil]

While taking out the cpu cooler i accidentally damaged a capacitor right next to the cpu. Can i still use it like this with no harm or will i need to get it repaired or replace motherboard?

It might not seem like it but my eyes tell me that your capacitor is punctured. I'd say no, you would need to replace that capacitor.

My motherboard also has a capacitor with a big scratch, but not deep like this.

You should have it replaced, either DIY or by a pro.
