Anyone got a 650D??

BrotherMuzone · 1 Mar 2012 at 19:07

Just curious, will a 650D support an XL ATX motherboard? Googling isnt helping me here so I'm wondering if anyone has an XL ATX motherboard in their 650D or would they mind measuring it for me? XL ATX is approximately 305x244mm.

Thanks!

I dont own one, but the motherboard support listed only says ATX and mATX.

What size motherboards will the 650D support?

The 650D will support ATX and mATX motherboard form factors.

Someone somewhere on the internet said it supported EATX, but it just slightly covered the cable routing holes, but im not really sure if XL ATX will fit...I just really like that case :eek:

Do you know if all the mounting holes in an XL ATX motherboard are in the same place as a normal ATX motherboard?

It could get in the way of the PSU.

Bit on the fence really, I was originally going to wait for this CPU along with a X79 board but ended going with the 2700k as per my sig.

What are the uses of the pc?

stulid actually made gave me an idea for a pc, but I will be doing some CFD from October, and stuff takes days to simulate, wondering if this will help..? The 3820 is very good value regardless.

Cheers, if its for gaming just stick the I5 2500K cpu or if your feeling flush the i7 2xxx range with a Gen 3 motherboard.

Have a look at the rough comparison between the i7 2600k and the i7 3820:
