Will this mATX motherboard fit regular ATX chassis? I have a Dell XPS 630i full size tower computer with ATX mother board and want to upgrade

Yes it will still fit, considering your mounting hardware is still all in original working order
521055
Any matx board will fit into a standard ATX case. The bigger question is if the dell case is standard. The motherboard is mounted upsidedown in the xps 630i essentially but the IO panel is your standard snap in, not the typical predrilled dell stuff so its perfect for reuse. The main issues will be rewiring for the powerbuttons, usb ports and the custom led and fan controller mounted on a special mini board with some sort of proprietary connect.

Typically yes, however if you really want to be sure, remove your existing motherboard and check to see if there are mounting holes for m-atx boards.If not, you can always drill your own, just make sure to use standoffs!
521057
Yes it will. As a general rule mATX is almost always backwards compatible with ATX.

I can´t find any specs on your tower, however, mATX board is smaller than a ATX board. With that said, if you remove your motherboard from your tower, look for other (if any) holes unused. I have two mid tower cases and both fit either mATX or ATX. Hope this helps. Cheers!

I don't know, lots. I installed a full size atx board (Asus M5-A97) no problem. Second the other response. Whole bag of stuff, most of which I will probably never need for standard build with three hard drives, one video card and one optical drive. Overall I really like this case especially at this price.

Check the manufacturers specifications for your model.Early on Dell went against standards and some model incompatible with a standard ATX P.S.If a more recent model more likely O.K.

This MicroATX Tower will only accept a micro-atx board and even with the micro-atx board it was a tight fit. hope this helps

Yes. According to the spec sheet that came with the case, it will accommodate XL-ATX, Full ATX, and Micro ATX. I used a Full ATX motherboard, and there's lots of room.

Sorry, but it will not. Your current dell motherboard is socket 775, this particular CPU only fits the new Intel socket 1150. You would need to upgrade the motherboard.

Go to dell website if it says your desktop Structure is ATX yes it will fit. However, I wouldnt buy this u are better off with a corsair PSU. I had the cooler master for about 9 months and then blowed up and messed up my gigabyte motherboard unlesa the motherboard was faulty, but after what happened I bought an Asus Mob and corsair psu

no, this is a full size card. I could barely fit it in a standard atx case. although the case I have barely fit a full atx motherboard.

It very well should. I have a different model asus atx mobo in mine and it fit just fine.

Dear Peter, although I'm Not a DELL Fan (as I build my own computers) there are many variables i.e. TYPE of MOBO,etc,etc .I wish, I could answer your question ( I MUST SAY I'M OF NO HELP, SORRY.) Sincerely...Mario

No, that MB is ATX, this is a Micro ATX case. Either you need to find an mATX MB, or get an ATX case.

This will work with any case that can fit an ATX motherboard. However, it will not be compatible with the processor that comes with your dell. What exactly is the reason for your interest in this motherboard? I could help steer you in the right direction. -Albe KCCO

sorry- the "microATX" designation means it can only fit the smaller motherboards inside, those that don't have more than 3 expansion slots, and your MSI 970 (nice mobo, by the way) has 6, so you should be looking for what's called a "full size" ATX tower for it

Yes, definatly. Its designed for the ATX spec, and has motherboard screws for MicroATX and mATX. I fit mine in there just fine.
2081273
Yes it should fit fine. Any Micro ATX motherboard fits fine, unless it's a FULL size ATX board with 6 or more PCI slots, which yours is not. Hope this helps!

Dell motherboard's have different mounts than this MSI board and most other standard boards. So no it won't line up with the standoffs in this case but you can drill & tap the holes. I would buy another case because it can be difficult to drill & tap the holes for proper alignment!
