ryzen motherboard compatibility

[Gordez]

hello guys, i've decided to build ryzen r5 1500 with B350 motherboard. but the only problem i see, i've heard that am4 motherboards somehow are not compatible in usual case(to it's fans, power supply, etc.) so please help.
does ryzen build need some kind of expensive special case or it can go with anything like intel if it fits in?

You heard wrong.
Ryzen motherboards are the standard ATX size.

It fits in any normal case. Only thing that changed is the CPU cooler screw holes. But the 1500 should come with stock cooler so you shouldn't have any issues. If you plan to buy another CPU cooler, just check that it is compatible with AM4.

Best Regards

nah, i can't afford a liquid cooler for it to overclock at least for now. since stock cooler is going to be fine without overclock why would i buy something else? thanks for the reply

im going with this one: https://www.amazon.com/Prime-B350M-CSM-Ryzen-Motherboard/dp/B06WRWZNJC/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1490794998&sr=1-4&keywords=b350#HLCXComparisonWidget_feature_div
since this is micro ATX isn't it going to fit in micro ATX case perfectly? micro atx cases are also cheaper than atx so why pay more

Yes it will fit.
