[SOLVED] Scratches on CPU Heatsink

[Rogurzz]

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?

Concerned about what?
Minor scratches are of no consequence. That's why you use thermal paste, to fill minor surface imperfections.
