Whats your most preferred motherboard size?

[Tt Andy]

I see that smaller builds are becoming more popular these days

For me, i'm currently using an ATX motherboard but i'm looking to build a smaller mATX build, what kind of motherboard size do you guys prefer the most?

[CareFactorOver9000]

Thought about trying a smaller motherboard... maybe trying mATX and getting a cube chassis.
Scared of changing though... Always had standard ATX

[McBludgin]

SR-2 just coz i can

Does anyone know which kind of motherboards are the cheapest?

[McBludgin]

I think the broken kind are the cheapest. Old ones are pretty cheap too.

I'm a full size ATX guy, but, I'm considering doing a mineral oil PC, and I'd use a smaller one for that.

Haha, yehh mineral oil PC's look pretty cool but i guess it will be quite messy to upgrade, did you watch the linustech build?

[HappyBuddhaman]

Yeah I did see that! I really don't know what I'd use it for, I just want to do it because I know I can.

[Tt Andy]

hahaha true, i kind of wanted to do it too but how would u clean it? drain the oil and refill? 

im guessing it will be more messy than draining out a loop lol

[HappyBuddhaman]

I would be an absolute mess, I guess you could drain it like you would a regular fishtank, and have a lot of towels ready.

For me it would mainly be ATX or M-ATX, M-ITX is too small (and thus often lacks fan ports and such) for me but it's usually the form-factor that has built-in Wi-Fi.

mATX offers a nice balance of size and functionality compact yet capable, much like the appeal of a Plush Labubu Keychain.

I’ve tried different sizes over the years, and honestly, ATX is still my favorite for the balance between expansion and airflow. But I agree, smaller builds like mATX are getting popular for portability. No matter the size, I’ve noticed that proper airflow and cooling setup really impact pc performance in the long run.

I usually prefer ATX for the extra expansion slots, but mATX is a solid choice for more compact builds. By the way, if you're taking a break from building, you might want to check out the Lucky game — it's a fun way to pass the time."

Achei muito interessante a comparação entre ATX e mATX. Também percebo que, independentemente do tamanho do gabinete, o fluxo de ar e a refrigeração fazem toda a diferença no desempenho a longo prazo. Até na hora de planejar upgrades, uso uma calculadora horas para organizar melhor meu tempo.

"Absolutely agree! Credenza tables are a brilliant blend of style and practicality. I especially appreciate how they provide extra storage without compromising on design, making spaces look tidy and elegant. They work so well in living rooms, offices, and dining areas, adding both functionality and a decorative touch.

study table design highlights an essential aspect of productivity and comfort that is often overlooked: the role of a well-designed workspace in supporting effective study or work habits. A study table is more than just a piece of furniture—it is the foundation for focus, organization, and overall efficiency. When designed thoughtfully, it can significantly influence one’s ability to concentrate and maintain good posture during long hours of work or study.
