Dell Dimension 8400 Motherboard

**Krish07** · 11-09-2009

I have a Dell Dimension 8400. I have been trying to play a new game called Champions Online on my Dell 8400. So i bought an Antex 900 which can house both ATX and ATX micro style motherboards. So, while installing the board it couldn't seem to fit on it. So, i would like to know that is there any one who has face the same problem with their Dell 8400 motherboard? Do any body have any answer about which type of motherboard it is? Kindly let me know your views on the above one.

The main issues are the layouts are not standard so any board but another 8400 board will require hackup the back end of the case. These boards are Intel made boards for Dell, so you will see a Dell logo come up when booted. All boards are fully guaranteed and come with warranty. This board is compatible to the Dell Dimension 8400 desktop system's only.

Dell systems use proprietary motherboards and as such are not upgradeable. If you want, you can get the board in and don't forget about the rear backplate which you need to have to push the sockets in first then put the motherboard down onto the screws.

There is no current Dell motherboard supporting a dual core processor that will fit into the 8400 clam shell case, the 8400 is the final model in this ATX series. For more information on your Dell Dimension 8400 Motherboard, you can visit the official Dell website.
