    Hi all :thumb:

    Probably a silly question but would an EATX motherboard fit onto a normal ATX tray or would the mounting holes not line up ?

    Can anyone answer this ?

    Thanks.

    only if it has E-ATX mounting holes, as E-ATX is usually 1-2 inches wider...

    The normal ATX mounting holes would align but obviously any on the extended edges would require the extra holes in your Mobo tray, you also need to make sure it would fit into your case if you are going to just fix it to the standard ATX holes
