I really like the AMD spire cooler and i would like to use it on my Intel motherboard because the stock cooler I bought for 2$ on eBay doesn't get the job done. I got an AMD Spire cooler for free when I built a PC for someone because he wanted to overclock.
This is what I have that may be useful:
-AMD spire cooler
-LGA 1151 socket motherboard
-Cooler Master 212 EVO Intel to AMD adapter mounting bracket
-3D printer
 
Solution
The mounting brackets are different. To make fit, you would likely have to drill holes in the motherboard itself to accommodate. That would likely break the mobo. I don't see a good outcome here.

You know what? I'm gonna buy a 212 EVO too....
 
You cant just 3d print a bracket because the cooler still has to sit on the CPU.
If intel was wider then you might be able to do something, but the only possible way to make a bracket to fit the smaller socket 1151 is to raise the height of the cooler to the point where it wont touch the cpu.
