Thickness conductivity motherboard

[Michael641]

What does the thickness of a motherboard constitute, does a thicker motherboard conduct more electricity?

 

[Mac266]

No, Motherboard thickness has nothing to do with conductivity. Thicker boards are less likely to flex or bend when, for instance, a heavy graphics card is installed. Motherboard thickness is all about strength.

Motherboards also use layers to hide traces for component connection, but in general ya, it adds strength and a board that has say, 9 layers may have just as many traces as say a 13 layer board, but the 13 layer board will be thicker and more difficult to produce so will likely cost more, which isn't to say it's necessarily a better board.
