Should be able to, XL-ATX is much bigger than E-ATX.

XL-ATX is taller and mATX is shorter. Trouble is E-ATX is wider. It's not going to fit.

Pro tip: If it doesn't mention E-ATX support, it probably doesn't support it.

 

There's a chance it could, but I wouldn't count on it tbh. It's built for the length of XL-ATX but not necessarily the width of EATX.

Are you guys kidding?

 

E-ATX is wider. Look it up.

 

Screw holes will match but the board will overlap the cable management holes.

 

@Darkman XL-ATX is taller than E-ATX and E-ATX is wider than XL-ATX which is the same width as ATX.

@Maybach123 You linked to a thread on a forum (not a good source) which was wrong. It's a common misconception that E-ATX is longer than ATX (it can be sometimes, especially when a board has both extra width and extra height. However, E-ATX is usually 7 slots (like the OP's board, although the lanes start in the 2nd slot) and an inch or so wider. So it might fit, but don't guarantee it (especially as the manufacturer hasn't said that it will fit)

Yes so depending on the case it might fit if he routes the cables differently. Manufacture guidelines are just that a guides.
