MicroATX and ATX boards

[JEFF1964]

I am trying to determine if an ATX m/b, processor, heatsink & fan will fit into a case where at the moment there is a
MicroATX board.

Generally, all ATX cases will fit a Micro ATX MB also. Some cases are designated Micro ATX only. If you have a micro only case, no go. You should list the name of your case if you know it.

Why is this post in the CPU section?

Anywaste, if you are sure the case is a m-ATX case, then no you will not be able to fit a ATX mobo because it is too big..

On the other hand 99% of the time you can install a m-ATX mobo in an ATX case.
