EATX motherboard in Fractal Design Define r5

[BertoFOTL]

Hey,

So I'm about to choose the parts for my new PC build but I have some doubts. As I've seen that this is a popular forum related to hardware I decided to make a topic.

I want to buy the Fractal Design Define r5 case (ATX) with the MSI X99S Gaming 9 ACK motherboard (EATX) but I wonder if it will fit in.

No it won't. You need a case that will fit an EATX board to fit that board. I recommend a Corsair 750D or a Phanteks Enthoo Pro.

Hey Woody,

Actually I did some more research and I found this.

What do you think about it?

Oh wow, that's a properly tight fit. It hangs over the cable routing grommets! Well, you can try and fit it in if you want, but I really would recommend an EATX tower to avoid any compatability issues.
