I find CPU easy, but the heatsink is absolutely the hardest.

Wasn't saying CPU is hard just nerve wracking as it crunches. Heatsinks are annoying as fuck. The first time I did a CoolerMaster H212 EVO I botched install... Had to pull it off which is a careful exercise in and of itself as you sort of wiggle slide it off the top of the CPU which is glued to it with thermal paste at this point and seated to the motherboard.
