I'm Confused

Is the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Xtreme ATX or EATX? I can't seem to get a proper answer.

its E-ATX according to Gigabytes own website.

I know, but other sources like PC building simulator and other people online are saying it's an ATX board.

ATX: 305 × 244 mm

E-ATX: 305 × 330 mm

 

This board: 305 x 270 mm (https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X570-AORUS-XTREME-rev-10/sp#sp)

 

So it is larger than ATX, but a bit shorter than full E-ATX, which is probably why some incorrectly class it as ATX. I'd rather trust the official specs.

 

~edit: To put it another way: It exceeds the maximum dimensions allowed by the ATX specification, so classifying it as ATX is wrong. It may not fit in some cases made for ATX. Its dimensions are within the E-ATX specification, so classifying it as E-ATX is fine, since it should fit into all cases made for E-ATX (or larger).

I hope this will clear up things for you.

Oh, ok. Thanks.
