Is your motherboard ATX?

The first ATX was released in 1995 by Intel. Advanced Technology eXtended or ATX is the basic motherboard form factor that has been used for many years and is now the standard. There are 4 basic types of ATX and 3 types of advanced information technology. Below we have described them for you and we hope this will give you the answers you are looking for.

The following are the ATX types.

  • ATX - ATX standard size is 305*244mm, sizes may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. ATX offers 4 slots for RAM, 2 or sometimes more for PCI slots, and is generally used by those looking for more expansion slots. It is only suitable for EATX and ATX compatible PCs. ATX can be expensive and heavy due to its size.
  • E-ATX is an extended advanced technology eXtended, this is a larger size of the standard ATX. E-ATX has more expansion slots and sometimes up to 8 RAM slots. It also has 2 CPU sockets, which can boost performance and run two processors on your PC at the same time.
  • XL-ATX - they are larger than even EATX in size, with more expansion slots and several PCI slots. XL-ATX offers nothing more than a few slots for connectivity. In addition, they are expensive and not ideal for standard PC cases. If you want to set up a PC with multiple GPUs for gaming with multiple PCIe slots, then this motherboard can be the perfect choice for you.
  • Micro-ATX - With less space for additional expansion slots and specifications almost the same as standard ATX, Micro-ATX or mATX is a smaller version of ATX. It has 2 RAM slots and fewer PCIe slots than ATX. It's cheaper than ATX.

Following are the ITX types.

  • Mini-ITX - Mini ITX are the smallest motherboards compatible with standard sized hardware components. They are cheaper than most motherboards. They also lack most of the features that a standard ATX provides. No more than 2 RAM slots and fewer PCIe slots. Power is also very low. They are ideal for small PCs.
  • Nano-ITX is smaller than Mini-ITX and consumes very little power, it is mainly used for automation purposes or in smart entertainment or Smart TV. Nano-ITX is not compatible with all types of standard PC components, which is a serious drawback.
  • Pico-ITX is the smallest motherboard used in IoT devices. They are very easy to use and use very little power. In addition, they are compatible with a limited number of equipment.
