E-ATX is not a form factor

According to Gamer's Nexus, E-ATX is not a standard, it is free-for-all marketing thing that generally agrees largest size is 12" x 13". Wikipedia article has inaccuracy referring E-ATX and SSI EEB are not hole compatible which is untrue. SSI-EEB only introduces additional POSSIBLE hole choices to make component placement easier on the motherboard.

(Different user here:) I have some information to add (I wish I had more time to contribute in amore meaningful manner, but - take it for what it's worth). One of the first and most-prominent motherboards to support the AMD Socket sWRX8 for AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ PRO Series Processors, the ASUS Pro WS WRX80E-SAGE SE WIFI, claimed to have "EATX(EEB) Form Factor", yet its dimensions were listed to be "12.2 inch x 13 inch ( 30.98 cm x 33.02 cm )". I have confirmed that it is oversized since I had to modify a Chenbro SR107+ chassis before it would fit - an excess of 0.2" was enough to require some fabrication. Generally, it's been a chore finding motherboards and chassis that comply with specifications, making me think that yes, indeed, and unfortunately, E-ATX does not seem to be a standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.193.141.225 (talk) 19:23, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

sole inventor claim

NOTE - I moved the following comment from my user talk. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 09:15, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Newbie here. I am the sole inventor of the ATX architecture (see patent reference). Everybody gets lucky from time to time and here "hit one out of the ballpark". I decided to edit the Wikipedia page after seeing the Chat GPT answer below...

>Who is the sole inventor of ATX

>The ATX (Advanced Technology Extended) form factor for computer motherboards was not invented by a single individual, but rather was developed by a team at Intel Corporation led by Robert O. "Bob" Simons in the mid-1990s. The team included engineers such as Steve Smith, Alain Le Guennec, and Jack Thornton, among others.

Frankly none of these people named were involved the ATX around the time that I patented the design. My search of Robert O. Simons shows that he worked at Microsoft, but I see no evidence the he every worked at Intel.

Just looking to factually correct the record. Suggestions welcome.

 Done I added "David Dent" because it appears in the patent. None of those other names are currently in this wikipedia article, and this isn't "Chat GPT" customer support, thus it is off topic. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 09:54, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Thank you. Dave D Here (talk) 10:03, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

Future article idea

Future article idea for someone to create. I noticed there isn't any article that discusses the card slot hole in ATX case nor much about the bracket either. Nothing in the ISA card article, I found this in the PCI card article. • Sbmeirow • Talk • 09:19, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
