Issues with iGPU on i7-6700K, should I worry about it?

I recently posted here about my iGPU showing some weird white lines of pixels blinking randomly when watching content in video-players such as VLC. Other than that it seemed to work fine. I have since bought a GPU and now it is fine, so it was indeed the iGPU of the i7 6700K having some issues, I tried re-installing drivers and installing the latest BIOS before deciding to buy a discrete GPU but nothing worked.

My question I guess is, do I have to worry about the other parts of the CPU having issues in the future? It works flawlessly right now with zero issues, but I am still a bit concerned I guess. Is it anything to worry about or is the iGPU completely separate from the rest of the CPU?

Do you mean RAM? Or the CPU's memory? And yes, random, it just blinked for a split second every 30 seconds or so. And it seems to have completely stopped when getting a discrete GPU.
