Well the socket should remain the same since AMD said AM4 would be supported through 2020 so the new chips should still use Socket AM4 which would make them backwards compatible to the 3XX series boards. The mounting brackets and holes should not change. You should be safe to buy your cooler of choice. 

Thank you for the advice.

Hello,

 

I am thinking of buying in advance an all in one liquid cooler from corsair or nzxt ( Corsair H115i Pro RGB 2x 140mm or the 3x fan variant  /   NZXT Kraken X62 or the 3x fan variant ) for the new upcoming AMD cpu, but i do not know if I should do it cause i do not know if they will change the mounting mechanism from the standard AM4 ?

Does anyone have any clue if they will change it ? will I need a different mounting mechanism ? ( I will not have the possibility to ask Corsair or NZXT for new brackets or whatever is needed if they change the mechanism )
