How do i find a mobo that can be in my case and work with my parts

[Asbjørn Bæk]

Problem
I found out that my mobo was in need of a replacement. this happened after I got the ''USB device over current status detected will shut down in 15 seconds'' error message when I booted my pc. I tried looking for a fix and saw that it should be that something is in my USB and that that was the problem. I looked at my USB and saw that nothing actually was wrong. So i made a post and came to the conclusion that i needed a new mobo. so i searched for a mobo and couldn't seem to find a mobo that would fit my case and my parts ( my intel fan cooler didn't fit in most of the boards i looked at ). My fan cooler is like this one https://www.newegg.com/p/1FR-001K-004T8
Current mobo
Asus H81m-c motherboard
https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/H81MCCSM/specifications/ link for the board.
Question
if you know how to find a mobo same size and same cpu cooler fit then please help me because i don't know how to do it myself.

What make and model case do you now have?

The words you need are "Form Factor"

Your motherboard has a "form factor" and any case you use must support that form factor.

Scrolling down to the bottom of the motherboard link you provided I found:

Micro ATX Form Factor
9.6 inch x 7 inch ( 24.4 cm x 17.8 cm )

However, you will still need to pay close attention to the specs and physical measurements of all installed componentsl; for example the fan cooler.

Tolerances can become very tight and problems will result.
