What are the types and characteristics of motherboards?

1.ATX (standard)

ATX is the most common type of motherboard at present. It is larger in size, generally 305mm×244mm, and has more expansion slots and interfaces. This type of motherboard is suitable for assembling high-performance computers because it can provide good expandability and heat dissipation performance. For example, it can easily install multiple PCI-E slots so that users can install multiple graphics cards or other high-speed devices. At the same time, due to its larger size, the heat dissipation space is also sufficient, which is conducive to keeping the temperature of the motherboard and various components within a reasonable range.

2.MATX (compact)

MATX is a compact motherboard type, which is generally 244mm×244mm in size, smaller than the ATX motherboard. It has relatively fewer expansion slots and interfaces, but the price is more affordable. This type of motherboard is suitable for assembling mid-to-low-end computers, or for some chassis that require space, such as small chassis or mini chassis. Although its expandability is not as good as that of the ATX motherboard, for some ordinary users, the MATX motherboard is enough to meet their daily use needs.

3.Mini-ITX (Mini)

Mini-ITX is a very small motherboard type, which is generally 185mm×165mm in size. It is characterized by being small and exquisite, and is suitable for assembling mini computers. This type of motherboard usually has only one PCI-E slot, and the number of memory slots and interfaces is also small. However, it is very useful in some special application scenarios, such as building home theater computers, small servers, etc. Due to its small size, it can be easily put into some small chassis and can reduce the footprint of the entire computer system.

4.E-ATX (Enhanced)

E-ATX is an enhanced motherboard type, which is generally larger than the ATX motherboard, at 305mm×330mm. It is mainly used in high-performance PC machines and workstations. This type of motherboard has more expansion slots and interfaces, and can support higher-performance CPUs and memory. It also has better heat dissipation performance because of its larger size and more sufficient heat dissipation space. However, its price is relatively high and it needs to be accommodated in a special chassis.
