I'm about to assemble my new computer... I ordered a Zalman CNPS7700-CU ((http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118115 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118115))) to go on my new X2 4800+ and it fits nice enough inside the case... but once I put it on, what's the best way to handle my motherboard. I used to handle my board by the stock HSF, because once that sucker is locked in place it was solid as a rock... but now I'm not sure.

I build my computer flat on the table. Don't hold it the heatsink you might pull out the CPU or something. Just put/build it on a flat table.

I usually carefully lift up by grabbing the raised i/o ports with my fingers and maybe a mosfet heatsink or something....never the hsf on the proc.

i usually grab it by either the atx connector or a PCI slot, it has always worked will for me.
if there is no cpu in the mobo i also use that little lever sometimes to pick it up

Using anti static bracelets, I just pick mine up......no harm so far
