I only use AMD CPUs, but I had a fear of installing a heatsink before I did it the first time. Site after site warned of the possibility of cracking the CPU if I installed the heatsink wrong, so I was just careful about it. After my first one, I've never worried about it too much. They are delicate and you have to be gentle with them, but as long as you follow directions and advice well you shouldn't have any problems.

Basically, just read a lot of info and do what others tell you to do and you should be fine.
