[Solved] Is my motherboard ATX?

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Motherboards [Solved] Is my motherboard ATX?

Best answer from Nikorr.

Hello,
I have an OEM motherboard.
Dell 0RY007
I'm not sure what type it is though. I did a search and came up with these answers: ATX, mATX, micro ATX, and mini ATX. Not sure which of these is right. A link to some kind of authoritative source would be nice. I'm looking for a new PSU and want to make sure it is compatible.

Your mobo is mATX and a regular ATX case will take mATX motherboards.

Reply to Nikorr

Wow thanks a lot!
How did you get that from the info I posted? And what does the 'm' in mATX stand for: micro or mini? Or is mATX a different beast all together?

Some one else have the same mobo model and it says it on the mobo : )

Wow, that pic is very useful!
Sorry for my ignorance, but still a little confused about what the 'm' stands for. The pic you linked has both micro and mini. You said it shouldn't matter as far as the case is concerned, as long as it is standard ATX. Will this make a difference for the PSU? The answer is probably right under my nose.

Its microATX, also known as µATX (sometimes transliterated as mATX[1] or uATX[2][3] on Internet forums) is a standard for motherboards that was introduced in December 1997.[4] The maximum size of a microATX motherboard is 244 mm × 244 mm (9.6 in × 9.6 in), but some microATX boards can be as small as 171.45 mm × 171.45 mm (6.75 in × 6.75 in)[5]. The standard ATX size is 25% longer, at 305 mm × 244 mm (12 in × 9.6 in).
Currently available microATX motherboards support CPUs from VIA, Intel or AMD.

Cases have many pre-drilled holes for the stand-off's to fit different formats.
