i was wondering if there is any benefit to going full atx rather than micro atx. I'm asking because i'm looking for a motherboard, and i found a micro atx with all the features i need. It cost about 25 dollars less then an atx with seemingly the same capabilities.
So the question is does the atx board have any advantage? I can't see any immediate advantages but do you guys know any?
Both boards i'm looking at support 2 way sli/crossfire, 32gb of ram up to 3200mhz, and 6 sata ports, but only 4 on the full atx bored.Yet the micro is cheaper. The only disadvantage i see (but doesn't affect me at all as i only have 1600mhz) is that the full atx can support 3200mhz ram where as the micro can do 3000mhz.
micro board: MSI Z87M GAMING
Normal board: Asus Z97-A
