Will a reference HSF for core2 duo be sufficient for E5800?

I have a working E5800 (2MB cache, 800 FSB) cpu:

I also have an Asus P5Q SE2 that I would like to use with that cpu.

I have the original HSF, but it screws into a bracket that is fixed to the old board. I can't just move the bracket to the Asus board.

So, either I need a cheap bracket for my asus board or I found the following HSF lying around in my closet, and am wondering if I will be able to use it?

6.2 Validation Results for Reference Design

6.2.1 Heatsink Performance
Table 6-1 provides the D60188-001 heatsink performance for the processors of Intel®
Core™2 Duo processor with 4 MB cache at Tc-max of 60.1 °C, Intel® Core™2 Duo
processor with 2 MB cache at Tc-max of 61.4 °C, and Intel® Pentium® Dual Core
processor E2000 series at Tc-max of 61.4 °C. Table 6-2 provides the E18764-001
heatsink performance for the processors of Intel® Core™2 Duo processor with 4 MB /
2 MB cache at Tc-max of 72.0 °C and Intel® Core™2 Duo processor with 2 MB cache at
Tc-max of 73.3 °C, Intel® Pentium® dual-core processor E2000 series at Tc-max of
73.3 °C, and Intel® Celeron® dual-core processor E1000 series at Tc-max of 73.3 °C.
The results are based on the test procedure described in Section 6.2.4.
The tables also include a TA assumption of 40°C for the Intel reference thermal
solution at the processor fan heatsink inlet discussed Section 2.4.1.

Yes, it'll be fine. (The Pentium E was basically a hobbled C2D. Thermals will be nearly identical.)

I used the original copper base reference HSF from a core2 duo to run off a1366,2500 and 3770 before using water cooling on the asrock mb that have the extra hsf holes.
All 3 chips ran good at 4000mhz
