Motherboard Fitting help

[yearnforu]

Hi, I have Sony Vaio PCV-RX755 that I bought 3 years ago. Now my cpu temperature goes up to close to 100 C and the computer turns off itself. I am trying to buy new case right now and this is what I came up with

and I was just wondering if my motherboard will fit with that case. Sorry but I am computer newb so understand my situation. Thanks for your help.

hi, ill try and shed some light onto your problem. Current motherboards are alot smaller than they were 3 years ago, thus the cases they make now are designed to accompany smaller motherboards, but you may be lucky enough to get it in there. Also with it being an ATX case there will be less room for you to put a larger motherboard. Personally, for what its worth just get a new motherboard that is compatible with your CPU, it will only cost around £40 (about $72) I hope that has helped you out, if not just ask tell me and ill try to give your a more indepth an analysis of the problem.
