I recently bought computer parts, put them together. everything was going fine until the heatsink, I used the amd fx 6300 processor and coolermaster hyper 212 evo, it kept sliding off and i realized it was stopping, it was halfway off the cpu but I didn't realize it. I tried to gently push it back up and the processor came out of the msi 970A-g43 motherboard, 

 

Is my motherboard okay? or my processor? 

I was using the thermal compound that the cooler master provided, mostly because I didn't feel like going and buying a different kind. 

 

I also looked inside the parts inside the cpu socket and they didnt look any different from before, the bottom of my cpu was fine too , 

I'm seriously worried about this and would love to know how much this can really harm my system?
