Odd question regarding CPU mounting

Hi, I'm planning on ordering the parts for my build soon.

I'm faced with a small dilemma - both of my hands suffer serious tremors. I'd like to know if I should bring someone to help me in advance with the cpu mounting (ryzen 5 3600 on a b450 tomahawk), to prevent potential damage. I got a bit scared after reading about the care I should use with the mounting.

Thank you in advance.

Ryzen pins are not so vulnerable to damage, at least not compared to Intel socket pins. However, not knowing for sure what the extent of your motor skills are, I can't really say one way or the other what kind of help you'd need to insert a CPU

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

Might be a good idea to have a friend or relative lend a hand or two.
