Would this CPU Cooler bracket work with this Motherboard/CPU Socket

[Tawxac]

Can the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler bracket hook on with an FM2+ Motherboard (Gigabyte AMD A88X Mobo)/CPU Socket

Yes, the 212 EVO will fit your motherboard just fine.

Below are the AMD socket types the EVO will work with, and as you can see the FM2 is listed. FM2 and FM2+ use the same cooler mountings.

AMD Socket:
FM2 / FM1 / AM3+ / AM3 / AM2+ / AM2

Yes.

Is the FM2 Socket an equivalent to the FM2+ ??

FM2 and FM2+ use the same cooler mountings - a cooler that works on one will work on both.

The difference is really for the CPU. An FM2 CPU/APU will work in an FM2+ board, but not the other way round.
