Detailed explanation-1: -The most common form factor is ATX, which evolved to mini-ATX, nano-ATX, pico-ATX, and further. A different type of form factor, and smaller than the ATX is the ITX, which is significantly smaller than the micro-ATX. The ITX form factor can also be found as nano-ITX, pico-ITX, mobile-ITX, and more.
Detailed explanation-2: -Typical size is 9.6 × 12 in although some companies extend that to 10 × 12 in. Created by the Server System Infrastructure (SSI) forum. Derived from the EEB and ATX specifications. This means that SSI CEB motherboards have the same mounting holes and the same IO connector area as ATX motherboards.
Detailed explanation-3: -There’s the standard ATX motherboard, the smaller microATX, and the even smaller Mini-ITX motherboard. The largest of these three motherboard form factors is the ATX or the Advanced Technology Extended motherboard. This was standardized by Intel in 1995.
Detailed explanation-4: -Motherboards come in three main sizes, from largest to smallest: ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX (Yes, Mini is smaller than Micro). You can use a smaller chassis with the micro or mini boards, but you’ll have to settle for fewer PCIe slots, RAM slots and other connectors.
