BTX (Balanced Technology eXtended) is a form factor for PC
motherboards designed to replace the aging ATX technology. It has
been designed to bring latest technologies that need more power and
produce more heat into small form factor housings.
The revolutionary BTX technology has not died. It has simply never
been popular with small and medium system integrators due to the
difficulty to get hold of BTX components. Due to its outstanding
benefits, A-brand professional PC providers such as
Fujitsu Siemens Computers, Dell
and
HP
have fully integrated BTX into their systems and will continue to do
so. We now provide all necessary BTX components, so like many of our
customers, win more tenders and contracts by using the outstanding
benefits of BTX as unique selling points.
The outstanding acoustic and thermal improvements achieved by BTX
technology are due to a new layout of the motherboard. The CPU is
cooled down directly from the fresh air blown in by the front fan,
and all components are strategically situated and orientated to
optimize the front to back air flow path. This can reduce the
temperature by 5 to 10 degrees compared to the ATX system. The only
fan required is the massive CPU cooler. The result is a dramatic
reduction of noise, heat, power consumption and consequently system
size.
BTX advantages:
-Smaller and super silent systems (No extra fan needed).
-New component locations on motherboard reduce latency between
devices. For example, the Northbridge and Southbridge chips are
located near each other and the hardware they control.
-Improved board design for a better signal transmission to memory
and power supply.
-Improved cooling with only one high quality fan controlled by PWM
technology.
-Higher components durability.
-Higher system stability guaranteed by efficient cooling of active
components.
-Improved motherboard support to avoid board deflection due to heavy
loads (heatsink, PCI cards…)
BTX components
BTX Motherboard:
BTX, Micro BTX or PicoBTX motherboards are all designed to avoid the
obstructed air flow that is forced around components in ATX systems.
They are optimised for the newest technologies including PCI Express
and SATA.
We recommend high quality BTX motherboards from Fujitsu Siemens
Computers.

BTX Cooler:
The BTX Cooler system is the only fan required for most BTX systems.
It cools down the CPU efficiently as well as all other components.
It is controlled by PWM technology (Pulse Width Modulation) to offer
an even more efficient and silent cooling.
We offer 2 models of BTX cooling systems, an Entry Version and a
Premium Version recommended for our chassis and Fujitsu Siemens
Computers Motherboards.
The BTX chassis is a mirror image of the ATX and both systems are
therefore not compatible. It has an integrated SRM (Support
Retention Module) and specific mounting holes to support heavy loads
and avoid motherboard deflection. Most chassis offer some screwless
features for easy installation.
KM slim desktops and towers are recommended by Fujitsu Siemens
Computers for the use of their BTX motherboard. Some of our models
even have a unique interchangeable ATX/BTXdesign.
BTX Power Supply Unit:
The BTX Power Supply Unit is the same as a standard 24pin ATX PSU.
Its physical size may vary depending on the size of the chassis.
Other components:
All other components such as Processors, Hard drives, Optical
drives, Memory etc... are the same as the ones used with ATX.
