Why aren't board manufactures pushing mATX as the defecto

>>61396156
They follow the market, not the other way around. Most people buy ATX cases.

They can cram more flashy gamer trash you don't need on an ATX board.

gaymer kids think bigger means better

most people don't need more than one extension card

Muh work space

>>61396156
Enthusiasts used to get more out of 2+ PCI-E slots, nowadays you can't even SLI more than two cards together.

I bet the temps are good in there though, it's got that going for it.

I love mATX, so comfy.

Because mATX isn't that much cheaper to manufacture over ATX, so to get the pricing down they have to give it budget level features. On the odd high-end mATX boards, you're paying the same for less capability.

theres a grand total of 2 mATX lga2011 boards.

motherboard just went out so now i have to get a full tower since they only sell matx for $500

probably not, because cases like that get hot pockets building up, makes temps high. some mitx is good because you can put a 200mm exhaust fan and vent every hot piece of air in the case

And I bought THE ONLY x99 mITX board. Stop being a pussy.

ohhh, how is it?

OC's well, has more connectivity than I need (case only fits 1 2.5 SATA and 1 nvme). Audio quality is real good. It's blue, which sucks.

>>61398268
I have a X99 mATX board. It's about the correct size for a X99 board if you ask me.

It's µATX, mATX implies Mini ATX

>>61398444
Who can be arsed to type a mu symbol though, really?

>>61398444
matx = micro atx
mitx = mini itx/atx (same shit)

>>61398444
mATX actually implies milli ATX
