The important part is that you don't touch the bottom of it, especially if its AMD. Try to hold it from the very outer sides, not the grey part. The point of not holding from the grey part is that you might leave fingerprints. So if you do, just clean it with isopropyl alcohol after placing it in your motherboard and you should be all fine.
