In addition, some microATX cases require the use of low-profile PCI cards [7] and use power supplies with non-standard dimensions. [ 8 ] Compared to Mini-ITX , microATX motherboards have a maximum of four expansion slots and four DIMM slots, as opposed to the single expansion slot and two DIMM (or SO-DIMM [ 9 ] ) slots on Mini-ITX motherboards.
A 20 % shorter variant of the ATX form factor. Compatible with most ATX cases, but has fewer slots than ATX, for a smaller power supply unit. Very popular for desktop and small form factor computers as of 2017. Mini-ATX: AOpen: 2005 150 × 150 mm (5.9 × 5.9 in) Mini-ATX is considerably smaller than Micro-ATX.
Mini-ITX 2.0 SoC mainboard with ATX12V connector installed in a Micro-ATX computer case. The Mini-ITX standard does not define a standard for the computer power supply, though it suggests possible options. Conventionally Mini-ITX boards use a 20- or 24-pin "original ATX" power connector.
20-pin Molex Mini-fit Jr. ATX motherboard connector – new to the ATX standard. A supplemental 6-pin AUX connector providing additional 3.3 V and 5 V supplies to the motherboard, if needed. This was used to power the CPU in motherboards with CPU voltage regulator modules which required 3.3 volt and/or 5 volt rails and could not get enough ...
Inside a gaming case during gameplay. 360° photograph. A full tower case. Accessories shown include: a fan controller, a DVD burner, and a USB memory card reader.. Cases can come in many different sizes and shapes, which are usually determined by the form factor of the motherboard since it is physically the largest hardware component in most computers. Consequently, personal computer form ...
A case's motherboard and power supply unit (PSU) form factor must all match, though some smaller form factor motherboards of the same family will fit larger cases. For example, an ATX case will usually accommodate a microATX motherboard. Laptop computers generally use highly integrated, miniaturized, and customized motherboards.
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 ...
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]
