Detailed explanation-1: -The E-ATX or extended ATX motherboard is much larger than the standard ATX motherboard. This motherboard is primarily used for gaming where a lot of power is needed. Most of the extra space on the board is used for extra expansion slots and memory slots.
Detailed explanation-2: -E-ATX is short for Extended ATX, and it’s actually the biggest motherboard size out there. They are 13 inches by 12 inches-the same vertical size as ATX but considerably wider. On these motherboards, it’s common to find bigger CPU sockets that can accommodate server/enthusiast chips, as well as up to eight RAM slots.
Detailed explanation-3: -The size of the Micro ATX is 244 x 244 mm (9.6″ x 9.6″). On the other hand, the size of the Mini ITX is 170 x 170 mm (6.7″ x 6.7″). When you compare the size of them, the winner is the Mini ITX.
Detailed explanation-4: -Standard ATX specifies length to be 12 inches with width varying from 6.7 to 9.6 inches. Retail motherboards smaller than standard ATX motherboards will always be compatible with cases designed for standard ATX form factor.
