Would this work?

I have the Thermalright Ultra 120 TRUE and the way its mounted is unfavorable for air flow. Granted its not terrible I have 4 fans for intake, 3 coming from the front and 1 from the side with 3 exhaust, 2 in the back and 1 large one on top. As of right now this is sort of how my airflow works I'm assuming.

Red represents hot air/exaust
Green represents cool air from side fan
Blue represents cool air/intake

Doesn't look like it flows too well to me..so what I would absolutely love would be to rotate my HSF 90 degrees and I've been searching and searching and searching for something that could do that and I finally came across something that might work and I know its not designed for work for this heatsink, but the specs of both are very similar.

Prolimatech AMD retention mount adapter kit which is designed for this Heatsink, Prolimatech Megahalems CPU Cooler. If you compare the specs of both heatsinks they have relatively the same dimensions and they both weigh the same, but it just doesn't seem like it could be that simple, could it? I'm hoping for some input from you guys, because this seems too good to be true.

Oh and I made another diagram of the projected air flow if the heatsink was turned.

Looks a lot better if you ask me.
