I remember this from a video I watched on JayzTwoCents' channel while considering buying my R5.

Supposedly they did remove the E-ATX compatibility that the R4 had.

It does NOT support e-atx. The motherboard tray has an indent if you would call it that, which makes it impossible to fit wider/longer boards.
