95w cooler on 115w TDP Xeon

gamingandblaming

Hiya.
Doing a (mostly) AliExpress build as I don't really have that much money and want to build a computer.
I meant to order an Xeon E5-2650v2 (95W) but instead accidentally ordered one with an E5-2689 (115w).
Will the Aigo ICE200PRO (95w cooler) that I ordered be able to sufficiently cool this chip? Not looking for ice cold, just enough to not thermal throttle or hang. Any noise is fine as well.
Have Arctic MX-4 thermal paste to use with it, if that helps.

Thanks!

First thing and most important one, this cooler doesn't support your socket, so it won't fit.

It has the universal clipping mechanism thing from AMD on it, I bought a cheap adapter from Ali for like $2 and it works. I have another system that I did the exact same thing with, and it worked.
