600C doesn't support EATX. If you're already spending this much on a mobo then get a better case to accompany it (like the 903 MAX) or, if you really like your case, get an ATX mobo

What's your budget for the upgrade and what're you planning to use it for?

Looks like it'll fit eATX perfectly fine.

 

A lot of cases don't bother listing 'eATX' support because the actual width isn't fixed. Past ATX, eATX just means "longer than ATX".

 

Examples being an X670e Aorus Master fits perfectly well in a FD North with a few millimeters to spare, yet that case has no listed eATX support.

It will fit. 

 

"E-ATX" is mainly a garbage marketing term for any board officially longer than ATX (9.6" / 244mm), the only official board size longer than ATX is SSI-CEB (10.5", which is what the AsRock Taichi is), and SSI-EEB (13" / 330mm) which is "True E-ATX" (it has a fourth set of standoff supports) This photo below shows how much room is with the ATX board, 1" / 25mm will not cause an interference fit and barly cause issues with the rubber grommets.

As a Side note, I purchased the B650E Taichi lite, and saved $150 to get rid of all that "Armor" which does nothing. Literally the same board, and is a decent value at $250-280, but terrible at $400.

Compared to every other AM5 motherboard ont he market currently, this one felt like the best value for the features I actually wanted and cared abou t(lots of USB's, SPDIF, an EZ-Debug code reader, multiple PCI-E drive locations and a good price.) Personally dont care about RGB on a motherboard or how much armor it has. 

 

For reference, I found this spreadsheet which helped me easily compare feature sets.

@TVwazherewell i couldn't agree more with you. RGB are aesthetics they won't give you FPS. The spreadsheet is top of the line. You are the best
