The difference between matx and atx motherboards

 

ATX is a standard computer motherboard, which is what we usually call a large board, with a length and width of 305mm X 244mm; while a MATX motherboard, that is, Micro-ATX, is usually called a small board, with a length and width of 244mm X244mm.

 

 

Due to the large area of ATX motherboard, the layout of components has more room to play than matx, and the overall heat dissipation will be better than matx. In terms of price, the overall ATX motherboard will be slightly more expensive than the MATX motherboard.

 

 

 

The mATX motherboard is small in size and is generally installed in the MATX chassis. The corresponding small space limits the size of the CPU water cooling and the size of the graphics card. Therefore, in terms of scalability, MATX is slightly worse than ATX motherboards. From the above expansion slots, the maximum expansion slots of ATX motherboards are 7, while the maximum expansion slots of MATX motherboards are 4, which also shows that ATX and MATX motherboards have a certain amount of expansion slots. have different extension functions.

 

In addition, MATX and ATX motherboards are not much different. Both are mainstream computer motherboards, and chassis that support ATX generally also support the installation of MATX motherboards.
