[SOLVED] Can u use GPU for ATX on micro-ATX?

[Ivaylo]

So i want to upgrade my GPU from zotac mini gtx 1060 3gb to Gigabyte Radeon RX 580 8GB but RX 580 is for ATX and my motherboard is Asus Prime H310M-K (micro-atx). My question is can I upgrade my gpu?

The issue will be whether the card fits into the existing case and if you have the proper PSU for it.

I would not consider this an upgrade aside from VRAM, and would not spend money this way.

I believe it should be ok with your board, with mini/micro atx/itx it's more to do with 'will the gpu fit my case?'

Depends on your case. The motherboard connectors on the cards are the same. You're only restriction, other than potentially your PSU, is if the RX 580 will fit in your case.
What PSU do you have?

Your PSU should be fine unless it's old. What is the brand and model of the chassis (case)?

beware of matx boards that cannot accommodate gpus with backplates, as the boards ram clips may interfere with the gpu physical installation. I learned this the hard way.
