Will the Crosshair VIII Impact fit the Fractal Design Define Mini C TG MicroATX Mid Tower Case?

PCPartPicker says no.

This is the MOBO I mean. Sorry for the confusion.

If your talking about the DTX (AM4) version then no it won't fit.

Ahhh isn't a bigger case compatible with smaller mobos?

 

[ubgradde]

That's usually the case but DTX is a really odd size for motherboards and the cases that support them are very limited. I'm actually kind of surprised they'd make a high end board for an odd form.

These are the cases that would support that board.

As you can see it's very limited.

Honestly I'd get a ITX or MATX version of that board (or something close) so you could use that Fractal Design which is a nice case.

I reaaally wanted that one. Guess I will consider the ASRock Phantom Gaming 4 with TB 3.
Thanks a lot!

Actually I'm wrong, it should fit.

Apologies.

So I should disregard PC Part Picker and buy those components?

Buy them from a retailer that allows refunds just in case, let me know how it turns out. Apparently the holes on the motherboard should still lineup even on the larger case so this should work.

Hey @ubgradde!

Did you ever get around to completing the build? Do you have photos?
I currently have the same mobo in a NZXT H210 and I am considering the move back to a slightly bigger case.
