Explore high-speed motherboards built to connect CPUs, memory, and storage with seamless efficiency. Designed for desktops, servers, and workstations, the right motherboard ensures stable performance, reliable communication, and smooth coordination across all your computer components.
Motherboards are of different types. The categories are based on form factor, which refers to the physical size and layout of each device.
Here is a comparison chart of different form factors:
Mini-ITX | MicroATX | ATX | |
Maximum Size | 17 x 17 cm 6.7 x 6.7 in | 24.4 x 24.4 cm 9.6 x 9.6 in | 30.5 x 24.4 cm 12 x 9.6 in |
RAM Slots | 2 | 2 to 4 | 2 to 8 |
RAM Type | DIMM, SODIMM | DIMM | DIMM |
Expansion Slots | 1 | 2 to 4 | 4 to 7 |
Graphic Cards | 0 to 1 | 1 to 3 | 1 to 4 |
SATA ports | 2 to 6 | 4 to 8 | 4 to 12 |
Despite these differences, they also share common features. They can support the same CPU and run the same graphics cards. The back panels are also similar.
