Will this motherboard fit my case?

[Frvnklin]

I'm currently browsing for a new motherboard/cpu for my computer. I currently have a Gigabyte F2A78M-HD2 motherboard and am looking to get the Asus H81M Plus Motherboard HDMI 4K.

I'm curious as to whether this will fit in my current setup

Umm, we'll need a little more information than that. What case? What CPU cooler?

 

[Frvnklin]

I don't have a CPU cooler, what information do you need? The over case of my tower or the Motherboard's Case?

 

[Alaric]

The computer case you intend to put the motherboard in.

 

[Frvnklin]

Just had a look at the case and there's no ID / Serial Number etched into it, looking through past orders to try and find it. It's dimensions are 43cm long x 42 cm tall x 18 cm wide

 

[Alaric]

Based on your case dimensions and current mobo, the Asus should fit without issue.

Alright, I'm planning on changing with CPU along with it, (AMD A6-6400K APU) to (Intel Core I5 4460 3.2Ghz Quad Core) will that work? Or would I need to buy a new DDR?

No, an Intel CPU won't fit in an AMD MoBo, you must check what socket/motherboard chipset your CPU is designed for (or the other way aroun...)

 

[Frvnklin]

I'm changing the MoBo from an AMD to an Asus to hopefully accommodate the Intel CPU

 

[Tír na nÓg]

We don't have a clue about your current setup...

 

[Alaric]

Your RAM should work, and that Intel CPU is supported by that Asus motherboard.

 

[Frvnklin]

what specs would you like to know?

 

[Joe88]

Everything, you are not giving us enough information which is a problem.

Asus makes both AMD and Intel CPU compatible motherboards. An Intel 4460 CPU would need a socket 1150 motherboard. It's the socket that is the critical component in matching a CPU/APU with a motherboard. The motherboard needs to have the socket architecture to match the CPU.

The relevant information for the questions asked is in the post #1 and post #7. He's going from an AMD mATX mobo to an Intel mATX board-so it should fit in the same case. The new board he listed supports DDR3, same as the old board. The new (Asus) board model given in post #1 supports the chip given in post #7. I don't understand all the confusion?

His first post did specify the board, H81m plus which is 1150
