[iyerkrishna]

Hey Guys,

I Had And Old Mobo ASROCK N68-S Now Im Going To Upgrade My PC And Going To Buy A New Mobo Which Is GA-78LMT-USB3 Will My Old Cabinet Be Enought To Fit The The New Motherboard. Please Help Me Very Much Confused

The old one is a micro ATX board. And so is the new one - so it should fit.

Hi iyerkrishna ,
i7Baby is correct you should have no trouble replacing the new mobo for the old , form factors are the same

 

[iyerkrishna]

both of them have the same form factor but dimensions are diff asrock has 17 by 24 and gigabyte has 24 by 24 thats what is the problem. so need a solution

 

[mickypheonix]

check your case by measuring , add the extra on and see if it will fit

 

[iyerkrishna]

""add the extra on"" i didn't get that part ??

 

[mickypheonix]

your current board is 17 x 24 if the new board is 24 x 24
then ( 24 cm your new board ) - ( 17 cm your old board ) = 7cm
so measure from your existing board edge on the side that is 17cm and see if you add another 7cm will it fit , do you follow ?
