Yes, the cpu is sensitive to electrostatic shock. If you are grounded
good(you can get armbands that connect to your PC case to ground you) then
there shouldn't be any problems. Just make sure you don't bend any pins
and line up the beveled edge of the cpu with the beveled edge of the cpu
socket on the motherboard. As far as the heat sink goes, most that I have
seen are the type where you have a bar that fastens the sink to the chip.
Putting those on shouldn't damage the chip, as long as you remember to not
bend any pins. I hope that helps. If you have any other questions feel
free to ask.
