Will a micro ATX motherboard fit In a old Atx case?

My atx case is ... Well I really don't know if it's old or not but it is an atx case. I'm mostly worried about how all the ports from the back of the micro will fit in the back of the case alright... Will it work? Also will a micro atx motherboard preform just as good as a reg atx? I wanted to get a Matx mobo to replace my old mono and processor. could someone just give me the dimensions of a microatx? Thanks!!Will a micro ATX motherboard fit In a old Atx case?
microATX, also known as 碌ATX (sometimes transliterated as mATX[1] or uATX[2][3] on internet forums) is a small form factor standard for motherboards that was introduced in December of 1997.[4] The maximum size of a microATX motherboard is 9.6 inches x 9.6 inches (244 mm x 244 mm), but some microATX boards can be as small as 6.75 inches by 6.75 inches (171.45 mm x 171.45 mm)[5]. The standard ATX size is 25% longer, at 305 mm 脳 244 mm (12'; wide x 9.6'; deep)Will a micro ATX motherboard fit In a old Atx case?
most atx case should fit a micro atx.


micro atx is like a regular atx but with fewer features so it would be smaller than an atx mobo. (therefore cheaper)


dimensions may differ from matx to matx. so look for a good matx you might want to buy and it should say the exact specs on certain websites. for example newegg.com will more likely have the info than buy.com


Also you can look up your case screw holes dimensions online.
The board is smaller, but not by much. Sorry I don't have dimensions but the mounting holes and connectors will all be in the same place.
yes... with about 90% accuracy.


micro atx is a division of the atx standard and as such should have the screw holes in all the correct places
