Installing the cooler is quite easy, especially if you have previous experience installing a cooler on the LGA 1150 socket. First you get the backplate and guide, push the correct screws through the corresponding holes then push the washers down on the top of the screw to hold them in place.

Next you push the screws that are now attached to the backplate through the back of the motherboard and use the thumb screws to hold them in place.

Now that the backplate is attached we can set the frontplate atop of it and tighten it down with some of the included screws.

Almost there! Now is the time to apply your TIM, however you see fit and then put the SilverArrow IB-E atop the CPU and using the mounting bracket you can tighten it down to the frontplate with two screws. Job done.

Now is what I considered the harder part of the whole experience, attaching the fans. When you put the retention clip on, one side will be quite loose at first but when you attached the second retention clip to the other side it tightens everything up and seems much better.
