Can I use an LGA 2011-3 heatsink and fan on an LGA 2011-3 Narrow motherboard?

I want to create a mini ITX powerhouse (i.e. X99, 32GB DDR4, GTX 980 Ti, etc.), but the only motherboard I was able to find is an ASRock X99E-ITX/ac, and that supports the narrow socket. Is it possible to adapter off and use normal 2011-3 heatsink and fan, or is it not at all feasible? And even if there's no official way to bracket it in, could I do some cool ghetto solution with zip ties? The cooler I'm planning on using is a Dark Rock TF, BTW.

What a strange and interesting board. That aside according to asrock website that board comes with a pretty decent cooler (Dynatron R24) bit noisy though as it is a server cooler. The Dynatron R27 should fit too as will the Noctua NH-U9DX i4 (best one here in terms of noise : performance).

You can't just slap a different cooler on without a bracket that fits both the heatsink and the socket and get it to seat and cool properly. So unless Dark Rock makes a narrow ILM cooler bracket you are stuck.
