Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with a fresh pc

I'll go straight up to the question: basically, I've put the cooling system of the CPU on the motherboard, but not the chipset (aka the processor, I don't know the exact name) below it. It has been like that for 1 night or so, uncovered below the cooling system. I cannot put it now cause I'm not at home, so it will stay like that for another 3-hours

Do I have to trash /change the motherboard, or it will all be fine? I'm seriously worried, and yes, I feel retarded


Sorry for the english, and sorry if the thread is in the wrong section, feel free to lock / move / permaban me :p

a picture of your situation would help i did not quite understand where did you put the cpu cooer on the motherboard, other than cpu, it can only fit cpu socket without any moddind, also what mobo are we talking here about
