Even with the use of soft materials like cotton swabs, microfibre cloths, isopropanol prep pads, and even dedicated glasses/lens cleaning wipes, I still managed to heavily scratch up the surfaces of the GPU dies...
Weirdly enough I never was able to scratch the surface of the 4-layer GPU die, much less the 65nm CPU die, even with a microfibre cloth or cotton swabs.
I think there might be tiny little fragments in the thermal compound that when scraped off act as an abrasive on the GPU dies, so I guess it was inevitable.
I'm just hoping the GPU still works, being that the scratches are about as thin as the tiny little hairs on my chin.
I know it looks quite awful.
