She (the narrator) took great care in not saying "size isn't all that matters"

Ram slots for more gpu’s. Interesting

she keeps saying Mini ATX instead of Mini ITX

ridiculous how micro is larger than a mini, I thought smart people were developing this stuff?

for anyone actually thinking about buying a sff case, don't worry about the pci-e slot, like the kolink rocket, most shoebox sized cases don't actually mount the gpu in that spot, but have a riser cable which leads to a different spot for the card to mount. this way, you can get cards that take up two slots and are up to 310 mm long into a 9l case.

Keep in mind that when choosing the MB size, also consider the size of the case.

Micro ATX cases are a very good fit for many office environments. Naturally, only m-atx mb's fit in them. Full size ATX mb's need mid or full size towers (7 expansion slots, though most motherboards don't populate more than 5 or 6 slots, the extra slots are covered by dual slot GPU cards, or can be used for extra USB or Serial ports via motherboard expansion plugs). Full size ATX boards usually have larger heat sinks for VR's, and can therefore handle overclocking. m-ATX mb's don't usually handle overclocking as well, and m-itx boards usually can't even handle CPU TDP's over 95 Watts. Not all micro-atx boards have 4 dimm sockets. About half are only 2. Micro-ITX boards are the most expensive because they usually require more layers to get all the traces in. Micro-ATX boards are large enough that they don't require this, and because they use less copper than full size boards, they are cheaper to make. Micro-ATX boards can end up using as much copper as Full size ATX because of the added layers, and the extra layers require added manufacturing steps, and have less yield in production (more defective boards). Full size ATX boards are more likely to have two or even three M.2 SSD slots, Micro ATX boards will usually have only one or maybe two. Look for a board with at least one x4 pcie slot if you want to add more m.2 storage via an expansion slot, but few micro ATX boards will have more than one large pcie slot. There ARE 32gb ddr4 dimms, so in theory you can get 64gb of memory even on a mini-itx. However, these dimms are still expensive, and not all motherboards are wired to accept them, even though the latest processors will handle up to 128gb of ram (and CPU's with 4 ram channels will handle up to 256gb).

Good video! Answered all my questions without getting too in-depth.

1:37 "Because the cases that are big enough to support all of these sizes support all of them" 🤔

Thank you so much. This helped me so much. Now I must venture off to figure out exactly what a PCIe is.

Just building my first pc and this helped a lot. thanks!

I've been searching for a while about tips on PC builds this is among the videos that that actually help thank a lot!

Great video. answered all my questions and concerns. Thank you

This was a great help; thanks!

Thanks for the video. It was the right thing I was looking for!

Great info, thanks!

Idk why but i love ur content... U inspired me a lot of things about pc :)

Great video, it helped me a lot. Thanks!

Thank you so much, this is very useful for my research and reports for school

Amazing Presentation. I’m a new PC Builder and this helped out tremendously.

Thank you... It was a lot helpful.. :))

ty for the quick info nice short video good info

I really like watching ur vids.It helps very much fr building my pc keep it up

Thanks for this video 💐🙏👍

Brilliant video! :) Everything explained in perfect detail and tempo.

helped me out a lot, thanks

I'm interested in transitioning to Mini-ITX motherboard coming from ATX. One thing I like about mini itx is that it's space friendly. ATX case can take so much space. But I'm thinking of having open air case or test bench case if I'm gonna get mini-itx.

Nice, thanks for the advice.

why u here 3:54 thank me later

This was very informative and insightful. Thank you very much

this video was very helpful

this was fantastic, you guys should do more primers :)

Thats a good video thankq❤️

I got an ATX and a mid-tower case a few years ago so I'd have room for upgrades. I wish I went with a Micro ATX because it's huge and I don't use all the space.

Perfect explanation. Thank you.

Useful video 👍

Thank you! 🙏

New PC builder. This was helpful. thx

Once you go Mini-ITX you won't go back. I have a manta case with hybrid 1080 (liquid cooler) and liquid cooler in gpu. Is amazing, compact very light and more appealing vs a huge case (ATX).

This stuff always always depends on what the user needs the computer to do, that's why one size doesn't fit all, you would have to ask questions like, where do you intend to put the computer, what size case are you using, do you need more features like overclocking, all sorts of things need to be taken into account.

nice video. thanks

Thanks a lot for this video. This video still helps one like me to build a gaming PC in THIS TIME ❤❤❤😊😊😊

I like the way you speak and your presentation is very good, the video editing is very well made, though your mic is somewhat of a potato, your voice is still clear. For that I'm subbed!

Nice video and format. Me and my gf's talk about if size matters all the time. Resounding YES! Size matters! Critical to complete needs. Merci

Nice presentation it helped me to select which motherboard.helpful video

This video is very helpful.

Clear explanation thx

i have a mini itx i5 97600K with a 2080RTX and 32Go ram and a 1To NVME samsing. it's work perfecly for VR.

Thanks for the info! I havent built a PC in about 7 years and just always assumed ATX motherboards were the only choice. Since I only use one expansion slot, I am wasting my money for all that extra space.

Thank you for the measurements! Now I know what kind of motherboard I have And need for a new one!

1 good thing I notice for Mini+ITX is its support Wireless Bluetooth, WiFi.

Small correction for the last part. For Surfing/Office/Multimedia-PCs it's advice move of those formtactors. If you know you won't upgrade in the future with a graphics card or similar just get a small formtactor barebone PC or even the AsRock DeskMini in different versions. Around 150 $ for case, board and PSU is a great deal and you'll even be capable to select the CPU and RAM yourself.

Thanks for clearing things. I got money for Christmas to build a pc, and in still looking for parts. I was nervous a microatx would not be the best futureproof wise as I would like to upgrade to a high end GPU someday

Thanks man this helps a TON :)

I'm not good in english but somehow I got more answers to my questions than from videos in my native language. Thanks ^)

Moral of the story is basically, Choose the size you want

Thnx alot 😘😄

Thanks for this video, it answered my question on (Track 1:32). I landed here because I wanted to purchase a " RAIDMAX MONSTER II ATX" Case but my motherboard is from a "Dell Optilex 7010 Micro-ATX" (a.k.a.... SFF (Small Form Factor) machine. I'm planning of upgrading it to Core i7 with LGA 1155 slot since the manual said the motherboard supports it, but I want it to be water-cooled, and as far as I have researched all Micro-ATX cases are too small for water-cooled system so I have to go with the Full-ATX case. I thought it wasn't possible lol.

Can we all agree TikTok adds are the god damn worst

Would a Micro ATX fit in a Node 202? I'm trying to transition to a smaller case to make it more "portable", but I also use ram-heavy programs such as after effects and premier pro. I'm not too worried about the graphics card "issue" since I use a 1050 Ti Mini.

well-made video very informative should deserve more attention :)

i've settled on mATX since 2008 and never changed haha Small enuff for lower volume cases (with excellent cooling) yet unlike MITX slots other than for GPU for expansion cards (PCI-e/PCI) and 4 DIMMS, etc! By the time you have MITX only casings that needs advanced/bigger cooling for high end hardware it ends up almost as big as MATX casings anyway and lose expansions slots, etc :(

I'll save you some times Best option's to go with Gaming: mirco atx Workstation: micro atx Desktop: micro atx

Great video.

You deserve more subscriber. Your contents are so im formative 🥰🥰

To this day im still using my E ATX from like 7 years ago and still kicking

Hi what PC is that shown at 4:35?

These are the only type of motherboard right? Can anyone tell me what is type for B450 Aorus Elite?

Great video!!!!! Going with the Micro-ATX for my new gaming PC build.

Excellent knowledge which low nerds take as size well expounded. Surely it helped planned making a better pc

“The cases that are large enough to support all of these sizes, will support all of them”

Sorry for this out of topic but im confuse about this , which one shoulf i put the type of gpy while im installing ryzen 5 5600g , should im using an integrated graphic vega 7 or should i kept using the gtx 650 since i had that graphic card with me

When i go for mini itx, meaning only has 1 PCIE-express and i put my ssd in there ( no need for gpu). Will i still have wifi? cause network cards also go in there? Depends on the board? Some boards have it?

Yeah ignore everything she said about itx, other than not having more than 1 pcie slot. There's no compatibility issue, other than what your case offers. You don't need other expansion slots anyway for all but advanced workstations.

What was the mini itx case you placed a picture of

Guys can a atx case support micro-atx motherboard?

You really do not like Mini ITX, do you? :) Thanks for the great video though! I am about to be building my own PC in a _very_ custom case, so I needed some information on the boards. In my case, size is quite a problem, which is why I will have to go with the Mini ITX.

is the background music based on the windows xp logon sound?

my build this year was based around a phanteks shift x. 32gb ram and a 2080ti.. not a problem imho..

Kudos to the "Shadow of the Colossus" clip at 0:56

Which should i choose if i just want to build a small form media center/ retro gaming console

I love small Form Factor PC, of course I chose itx board, i only use 1 GPU, so there is no need for me to use ATX board, and only do slight OC,

Thank you for teaching me how to spend my money wisely!

Got me an atx. I created a monster.

4:35 what is this kind of desktop called? Like it's a desktop with a monitor and a keyboard

Which are the games running in the video?

Thanks I’ll know to go with micro atx with my budget build now

What are the games you showing

Usually you just use a riser card/cable for mini itx builds inside of small cases, it usually solves the spatial issues. Also mini ITX is viable for people who like small form factor builds and you only need one gpu so the PCIe argument isn't very viable when it comes to gaming(unless you need to game at 8k 60fps); and there are multiple mini ITX mobos that support 64gb of ram but those are usually more expensive obviously. Other than that this is a good video

Which game is shown in the video.

Can you link a motherboard website for me for a rosewill Mirco ATX and can you link the parts I need this is my first time building one

If I have a 256Gb NVme drive(E.g ADTAT SX8200 PCle Gen3 x4) and plan to buy one more in the future. Which motherboard should I choose for the AMD Ryzen platform. I am not quite sure both X470 or B350 board would support 2 NVme drives...

Hola. Can you give me 5 types of motherboard that is currently out in the markets?

Mini atx

"Because the cases that are big enough to support all of these sizes, will support all of them." I agree.

Will a width of 305 mm and length of 244 work on a micro atx pc case get back to me ASAP

Does ATX motherboard fet to mid tower cabinet...?

Sir I have Intel dh61ho mother board and my p.c is approximately 10 years old ..... Have I gaming in this p.c

I find really annoying how most microATX cases leave so much empty space inside. It's hard to find one to build a simple small PC for work.

So which better can someone tell me?
