which motherboards would fit in my PO5-615s case?

mocha

im looking to get a new motherboard to replace the one inside my PO5-615s. i want to get one that has extra features like XMP, ram timings, CPU overcloking values, all that good stuff. but i have no idea the layout of this case or which MB would fit into it. it would be my first time buying something like this too so any help would be appreciated.

specs:

i7 10700k

2070 super

2x8gb corsair vengeance rgb 3200mhz

1x 512gb nvme ssd

1x 2tb hdd

Just in addition to the above, as I've used the Intel Z490 chipset in a desktop that I've built and they are the best Intel 400 series gaming chipsets to use, your Acer PO5-615 desktop has oem an Intel H470 chipset mobo, the best and most compatible gaming upgrade so that you can use and swap components and put this new mobo into your PO5-615s case are many, have a look at this review of all the best gaming Intel Z490 chipset mobos list here “Best Z490 Motherboard for Gaming & Overclocking [Budget to High-end]” and buy whatever mobo that suits your budget, as the top 3 on this list are the ones that you will want to upgrade to, like the MSI MAG Z490 TOMAHAWK, Gigabyte Z490 AORUS ELITE or the ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI)

Btw I’ve used the ASUS TUF GAMING Z490-PLUS (WI-FI) mobo (and these Z490s mobos are going pretty cheap these days) in a desktop build and from my personal usage it’s a great mobo for performance and overclocking of the ram and cpu, so these are the choices that you should look at, as all these mobos will also run the 10th Generation Intel Core i9 Gen processors that you can also upgrade to so that it will give you even better gaming performance from your i7-10700K. I also suggest that you also upgrade the 16GB DDR4-3200MHz (2x 8GB DDR$) memory that you have to at least 32GB preferably 64GB at DDR4-4600MHz or up to DDR4-5000Mhz whichever mobo you buy as some have a limit of what DDR4 ram speed that they run.

Your PC is pretty capable as it is. Is there some specific reason or game why you want to do this?

As you already know, a new mobo should allow you to use your RAM at full speed instead of current DDR4-2666(?) and support even faster RAM. You might be able to tighten the RAM timings a bit and oc your CPU. But this would also make your CPU run hotter and fans louder. That's something to keep in mind.

Looks like the motherboard is ATX form factor. In theory any ATX or mATX mobo _should_ fit. If you want to replace your motherboard, I'd go a step further and get a new case. Look for a good used mobo and save some $$$ while at it. But then again, 12th gen and 13th gen CPUs are performing better with the same clockspeeds…

Changing mobo would be nice, but unfortunately I don't think that the gains are going to be that noticable. Depending on your monitor's resolution and refreshrate a bigger boost could be had with a GPU upgrade (3060 Ti, 3070). But then again, most of them are costly and might require a PSU upgrade.

Yes, Comet Lake 10th gen to a current design will make some difference, but not a lot by it's own. Are you running the 2666 memory or 3200 in yours and what speed is it actually running at? The latest designs will run much faster memory and that might be worth doing the upgrade, but be aware that to really make a differences you will likely be replacing the MB, the CPU, the memory and the GPU at a minimum. That's pretty close to a new system…

yes im running at 3200mhz with xmp enabled. main reasons why i want to do this is because i want to tighten ram timings and do a custom CPU overclock to see if it possibly makes it perform better and give better temps since Acer locks the bios and makes this impossible. And while if i were to do this i would most likely change the water in the cooler that it comes with and add new thermal paste. its my first PC and its a prebuilt so i figure it would be something fun to try and do coming from someone whos never really done anything PC related other than change ram. and maybe ill add new fans that are quieter so i can run them at higher rpm without it sounding like a jet lol.
