A form factor of a motherboard is it's size relative to other motherboards, some computer cases cannot support motherboards who's form factors are too small, or large for it.
The form factors I can remember off the top of my head are:
ATX
Micro ATX
Mini ITX
Nano ITX
Pico ITX
AT motherboards
The AT form factor
Atx, btx, nlx
Form Factor is the size, configuration, or physical arrangement of a computer hardware object.
Any standardized case will hold any motherboards of that form factor, such as ATX or microATX.
Actually, the CORRECT answer is that the form factor of motherboards pertains to the size and shape of the board. There is no other answer to this question.
They are P8 and P9 They are P8 and P9
That all depends. Most Z270 Motherboards will fit.. the case supports ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX form factor boards. But you will not be able to fit E-ATX motherboards.
ATX is the form factor which Motherboards, Computer Cases and Graphics Cards use to standardise sizing. An ATX form-factor Motherboard will fit an ATX Case, and an ATX Graphics Card will fit in the case as well.
A form factor houses the internal of a computer: processor, memory, power supply, etc. It is the shell of the inners. The term small form factor PC relates to the chassis of a computer in a very small form.
The three versions are; Micro, Nano and Pico
The three components that must have the same form factor in a computer are the case, power supply and motherboard. The case should be able to support the form factor of the motherboard and the motherboard should be able to support the CPU socket type.
