Is it a good idea use matx for a workstation?

[Viktor_4]

What is better matx or atx mobo for rendering workstation and what chipset will perform better z97 or h97 for this kind of work?

Dedicated workstation generally go with the X99 platform.

Workstations generally involve multi-threaded apps and for a combination workstation / gaming platform, you'd want Z97 over H97

mATX is just "smaller" than ATX and with that reduced size comes compromises on what features can be added, how robust the MoBo can be designed, and increased costs ... if in a mATX case, cooling of system components is also impacted.
