A standard proposed by Intel as a successor to ATX in the early 2000s, according to Intel the layout has better cooling. BTX Boards are flipped in comparison to ATX Boards, so a BTX or MicroBTX Board needs a BTX case, while an ATX style board fits in an ATX case. The RAM slots and the PCI slots are parallel to each other.
The mounting points of microATX motherboards are a subset of those used on full-size ATX boards, and the I/O panel is identical. Thus, microATX motherboards can be used in full-size ATX cases. Furthermore, most microATX motherboards generally use the same power connectors as ATX motherboards, [ a ] thus permitting the use of full-size ATX power ...
Comparison of some common motherboard form factors (pen for scale) Form factor is a hardware design aspect that defines and prescribes the size, shape, and other physical specifications of components, particularly in electronics. [1] [2] A form factor may represent a broad class of similarly sized components, or it may prescribe a specific ...
Comparison of the form factors for motherboards ATX, μATX (micro-ATX), DTX, mini-ITX and mini-DTX The DTX form factor is a variation of ATX specification [1] designed especially for small form factor PCs (especially for HTPCs) with dimensions of 8 × 9.6 inches (203 × 244 mm). [2]
FlexATX is a motherboard form factor derived from ATX.The specification was released in 1999 by Intel as an addendum to the microATX specification. It uses a subset of the motherboard mounting holes required for microATX and the same I/O plate system as ATX and microATX.
Comparison BTX μBTX nanoBTX ITX picoBTX BTX case of a Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo P2510 Clearly visible: the four holes for the "Support and Retention Module (SRM)". BTX (for Balanced Technology eXtended) is a form factor for motherboards, originally intended to be the replacement for the aging ATX motherboard form factor in late 2004 and early 2005.
Mini-ATX motherboards are a smaller form factor of the ATX motherboards. It typically uses surface-mount technology for component placement, solid state capacitors to ensure stable power delivery, and an 8-layer PCB design to increase durability and longevity. This design is aimed to provide a better overall performance and reliability compared ...
Full-size tower cases are typically larger in volume than desktop cases, with more room for drive bays, expansion slots, and custom or all-in-one (AIO) water cooling solutions. Desktop cases—and mini-tower cases under about 46 cm (18 in) high—are popular in business environments where space is at a premium. [1] An empty computer case
