AMD Ryzen Cooler Compatibility Question

Now before you guys say anything, I have a list from online of the available heatsinks and AIO for the Ryzen AM4 platform.

 

My main question is, because I saw it on another tech site, that the previous AM3+ stock socket design coolers are compatible with AM4 sockets without removing the sides where you would normally clamp it on. Does anyone have any information on whether or not it's been confirmed that stock design coolers will work on AM4?

 

Apparently, AM3+ and AM4 is the same size socket and has the same specification on the mounting. The only thing that is difference are the screw placements.

 

Thanks guys! 

 

PS... Already preordered and I can't wait!

Can no one answer this question? I'm searching endlessly on the internet for an answer and can't find anything.

It's under the I/O shield.

After 2 days of searching, I found out that the Hyper T4 by Cooler Master supports the AM4 socket by means of the retention latch. So apparently, AM3+ aftermarket coolers with the stock mount will work.
