GlacialTech Siberia CPU Cooler Review
Conclusions
Contents
The GlacialTech Siberia is an eye-catching CPU cooler. It has excellent performance, too. The unique design, with a 140 mm top fan and a 92 mm bottom fan, seems to work very well. Furthermore, it helps cool the parts around the CPU, like the motherboard chipset, voltage regulator transistors, and memory modules.
The great drawback we found in this cooler is its mounting system. It seems as if the engineers who designed this system never had to actually mount it. There were two simple solutions, one opening holes on the heatsink in order to pass a screwdriver through it, and another allowing the user to screw it from the solder side of the motherboard. The way it is, this cooler has the most laborious mounting system we’ve seen so far.
The GlacialTech Siberia is a good cooler, with excellent performance and nice looks, receiving the Hardware Secrets Bronze Award just because of its awful mounting mechanism.
