The OptiPlex GX620 is a BTX designed system, not ATX, only BTX motherboards will fit into this chassis.
You would need to buy another Dell OEM OptiPlex GX620 BTX motherboard, as it has proprietary features and there are no retail BTX motherboards available that will fit.
I was told that other optiplex series mini tower motherboards could work as long as they are set up the same and their measurements were the same the biggest difference was that I would have to change the backing plate for the motherboard
If I remember correctly a btx mobo I'd the mirror image of an atx mobo if this is the case then most optiplex mobo for the mini towers are btx because the ones I'm looking at are on the right side of the case not left side
