Aegir perfectly fits AM3+ but now im using MSI B350 PRO-VD PLUS AM4 mobo this cooler super excellent 2 8mm and 4 6mm heatpipe. I wanna use but is it possible or not ? xigmatek doesnt give their customer am4 upgrade kit so i'm gonna buy new cooler???

1) What if i'm use another cooler brand's am4 upgrade kit for Xigmatek Aegir at the end same aluminum block, can montage different or not ?

2) Zip tie how ?

3) Using old montage kit for am4 possible ?

1. very difficult to find compatibility outside same vendor, so your playing roulette.

2. No, dont even try to ziptie. You wont get enough mounting pressure that way, and if your board mounts vertical, then you'll torque and never get the required mounting pressure.

3. No again...

Im sorry but your out of luck.
You will most likely need to get a new heat sink, unless u have a 3D printer, or a CnC which you can make out a new plate with.

not worth the effort and potential trial and error time imo.

new cooler time, the good news is there's a lot of good ones for short money.
