Posted July 21, 2019 mATX is a smaller (less tall) ATX motherboard. E-ATX is a wider ATX motherboard. So mATX fits inside ATX footprint, which fits inside E-ATX. The screw holes are standardized, in the same locations. So a mATX motherboard will fit into any case that claims to support mATX or higher motherboards (ATX , E-ATX etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 22, 2019 The only standard form factor mATX doesn't fit in is Mini ITX, a mere 6"x6" I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B Primary PC: i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me. Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference. How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
