Anyway when i pull out my graphic card I just barely stratched a mbo heatsink.. But when I put video card back in the pcie slot that scratch "disappear" I mean the video card is cover that tiny scratch.. My biggest concerne is there a problem with that? Can motherboard toasted or no problem with that? The board is Gigabyte Z87-HD3.. I draw a little sample to see .. ( I forget to take a picture, yes Im a idiot) Tnx guys...

There should be no issue. It appears only to be cosmetic damage.

There should be no problem. The part of the heat sink that's painted is just for our viewing pleasure. It looks like you just scratched some paint off. No problem.

ubercake/ animal So you are 100% sure that is some paint? And there will no be some issue?

Yes, unless the heatsink was pulled from the part underneath it (which is not showing to be the case in the pic you provided) you will be fine.
