Will a mATX motherboard be suitable for a 3 fan GPU?
Or is it too small? Trying to save $$$ by going mATX.

are you intending to mean 3 fan or are you trying to say 3 slot (as in 3x PCI slot for the thickness of the GPU cooler)?

The number of fans on the GPU really doesn't have anything to do with the motherboard and won't limit which board you use in any way

as long as it fits in the case it will work

Motherboard has nothing to do with GPU size, as long your PC cabinet has enough room to accommodate the GPU horizontally, you can use any GPU.

But beware, majority of small micro-ATX motherboards are poor quality boards. You need to use a board which is appropriate for your CPU, otherwise you may face VRM throttling.

Open Air Test Bench and any Motherboard size you want, never run into GPU Size limitation again.

It really shouldn't be a problem to use very large GPU card on any modern Motherboard. Most have much better SATA port placement and such then boards did 10 years ago.

Mostly will come down to...
> Will the Case have enough room for the GPU length

> How many slots is the GPU going to physically use. This usually is only important if trying to use an ITX Board and small case, or if you use any PCIE expansion cards below the GPU on your ATX/mATX board.

> Will my PSU be more then enough and does it provide enough property pinned gpu cables. Such as enough 6+2 pin connections per what the GPU requires.
