GlacialTech Siberia CPU Cooler Review
Installation
Contents
Figure 11 shows the base of the Siberia with the metal clips needed to install the cooler on Intel processors. After screwing the clips, put the backplate on the solder side of the motherboard and attach four screws (with springs) from the component side.

In Figure 12 you see the cooler installed on our motherboard. Because of the shape of the cooler, there is no way to fasten the four screws without removing the motherboard from the case. Actually, the GlacialTech Siberia was probably the trickiest cooler to install from all the models we tested using this methodology. It could be far easier if the clips on the cooler base had the screws attached to it, so you just needed to screw the nuts from the solder side.
