Do all motherboards fit in all cases?

[Luker1759]

I was just wondering if I could fit the MSI FM2 A75MA-E35 mini atx motherboard in the Zalman Z9 plus case? However I may change my mind so I would also like to know which kind of motherboards fit in which cases so I know what I can get. I have little to no pc knowledge and I am planning to build a gaming pc so treat me as if I know nothing thanks for any help.

Not all cases fit all mobos but usually they can fit multiple sized boards.that case can fit ATX and micro ATX so mini ATX will not work.

Usually it's best to get the biggest board your case supports since it will have the most features possible

No, mini itx cases can only fit mini itx boards. Micro atx cases can fit micro atx and mini itx boards. Atx case can fit, mini, micro, and atx boards, and eatx case can fit them all.

Thank you! Sorry I was wrong that motherboard is micro not mini, I don't know the difference. So it will work then?

Bigger cases could of course fit smaller boards but they don't always support them, they don't have the right standoff peg positions. The specs for his board are limited to micro and standard ATX
