Heatsink compatibility

Hello.

I have recently purchased the motherboard to a Dell 6NWYK Precision T1600, and oddly enough, the heatsink from my Dell Poweredge II T110 isn't compatible, despite being the same socket, from the same company, in the same CPU range (Xeon E3 range).  So, I was wondering, what Dell heatsinks are compatible with the T1600, and/or is there a way to adapt it so I can use a more normal heatsink?

whats the exact model of the CPU's that you have? Xeon E3 doesnt mean anything, they could be two different sockets

supposedly you can use any LGA 1155 cooler no? or is Dell using something different to attach heatsinks?

That is the CPU from the Dell Poweredge, the reason why I bought the new motherboard is that the one in the server didn't work with my GTX 1050.

Yeah, they seem to have a propietary heatsink mounting system as well.
