Talk:Motherboard form factor

message: Something is messed up on the chart, Micro ATX is listed as being much larger than Mini ATX, and then the description is talking about ITX which appears to be something completely unrelated.  Shouldn't the size of the Mini ATX be smaller than the normal ATX but larger than the Micro ATX?

I propose moving the list of specific form factors from
motherboard#Form_factors
to
comparison of computer form factors.
Listing all those form factors in 1 article (even twice in one article)
is easier to maintain and cite and keep consistent,
than trying to keep similar-but-not-quite-the-same lists consistent in 2 different articles.
Is there any reason not to put both lists into one article?

I am requesting that this article be renamed to Computer form factor, over the current redirect. Since there is no main article, and this article does contain a basic overview, I believe that promoting this to a main article is appropriate. While Computer form factor previously redirected to a section of Motherboard, I do not think this is the most appropriate choice because form factors cover significantly more than the motherboard (notably, power supplies and cases).

message: Missing small form factors that initially began with entry level servers: "EPS12V, SFX12V and Others 
The EPS12V power supply form factor utilizes an 8-pin processor power connector in addition to the 4-pin connector of the ATX12V form factor. (Note: this isn't the only difference between these two form factors, but for most desktop computer users, knowing this should be sufficient). The EPS12V form factor was originally designed for entry-level servers, but more and more high-end desktop motherboards are featuring the 8-pin EPS12V processor power connector now, which enables users to opt for an EPS12V power supply. 
The Small Form Factor (SFF) designation is used to describe a number of smaller power supplies, such as the SFX12V (SFX stands for Small Form Factor), CFX12V (CFX stands for Compact Form Factor), LFX12V (LFX stands for Low Profile Form Factor) and TFX12V (TFX stands for Thin Form Factor). They are all smaller than the standard ATX12V form factor power supply in terms of physical size. SFF power supplies need to be installed in corresponding SFF computer cases."

I think the page needs to be rewritten from scratch and this time have all the necessary facts and such. I don't have the time to do this so like everybody else on this page I'm asking somebody else to rewrite this page for me and everybody else who comes to this page.--tumaru 17:24, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Non-PC form factors 

message: you have two images detailing the form factors, (somewhat simular), how about one that shows the hole locations required for form factors. this shall be quite informative to anyone who wants to see what boards will fit in their case. because in some there are holes everywhere. maybe also include holes for the processor heatsink mounting.

thread_title:  screw locations 

message: SSI-EEB motherboards do not have the same mounting hole locations as ATX motherboards.  I have multiple ASUS Z8PE-D12(X) motherboards which ASUS specs list having a SSI EEB 3.61
form factor, and the motherboard screw holes do not completely line up with the Antec Titan 650 case, which Antec specs list supports mini/micro/standard/extended ATX.  You either have to tap new holes in the case or leave out a couple of motherboard supports.

message: I stumbled upon on this form factor while searching for raid box motherboard candidates. Here are examples of existing boards with this form factor. I do not consider myself as authority on the subject so useful comments are welcome.

message: The table mentions: "Mini-ATX is slightly smaller than Micro-ITX", but there's no row for Micro-ITX. Does that size actually exist? Google seems to turn up pages where use of that name is a typo for Mini-ITX or MicroATX. Gwideman (talk) 02:22, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Computer form factor →  – There's no reason why "computer form factor" should apply only to motherboards, in fact it applies more strongly to computer size categories.
