I'm going to replace my motherboard with the msi b450 mortar max, but i want to be sure that it will fits into my pc case.
From what I know, my case only support matx motherboard.
Is the msi b450 mortar Max a mATX motherboard? I currently have the msi b450 gaming plus and it's actually a bit shorter than it should be.
P. S. Will the msi b450 mortar max support amd Ryzen 3000 series natively? Or I will have to update the bios in order to use my Ryzen 5 3600?
Thanks!

yes. it is a mATX board
yes there are only two BIOS revisions and the oldest supports some 3000 series chips, the 3600 is one of those supported. a BIOS update is required for newer chips though like the ryzen 3950x and the 3500x.
