So I noticed my fan isn't working and I want to switch to liquid cooling. GIGABYTE FM2+ F2A88XN WIFI This is my mother board. And I want to switch the heat sink out with the fan and put a Corsair H60 liquid cooling device in it. Will it work? Is FM2+ and FM2 the sockets the same?
I have a Zeus mini. These are my specs http://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-zeus-mini-desktop-amd-a10-series-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive/4288022.p;jsessionid=D0A799F094E4FD5658F8D89F3CA65654.bbolsp-app01-111?id=1219097502258&skuId=4288022&st=zeus%20mini&cp=1&lp=4 Will a H60 work for me with this case? It said that it can fit a 200mm fan or something, and the H60 is 120mm.

Water cooling is no longer a hobbyist field, that said yes the FM2 and FM2+ socket have the same mounting bracket. You actually have the FM2+ socket in your system which the H60 will fit. As this will be used to cool your CPU I reccomend you mount the radiator and fan on the rear exhaust on the backside of your case. Youtube is a great place to get instructional videos on how to set it up and though the case they use may be different the process is nearly identical. I hope this helps.
