Am3 push pin cooler on am4

MinerModi

Hello

So starting off I bought a ryzen 5 1600 and an Asus Prime B350m-e mobo and I know that the wraith spire cooler is quite decent but I was just thinking considering I live in a desert climate maybe i should get an aftermarket cooler. However I cant get any "officially" AM4 compaltible coolers due to their inavablity and higher price at least where i live . So I wondered wether I could buy any of those am3 coolers that use the push pins ( the clips) to mount on to the mobo and use them on my cpu.

They clips look similar to me and i read on a forum that they are the same but that was just one post so I just wanted to make sure if they were the same. 

Thanks in advance,
