The Motherboard

What is a Hard Disk Drive?:

The hard disk drive is the main, and usually largest, data storage device in a computer. The operating system, software titles and most other files are stored in the hard disk drive

The motherboard serves to connect all of the parts of a computer together. The CPU, memory, hard drives, optical drives, video card, sound card and other ports and expansion cards all connect to the motherboard directly or via cables.

fun fact!

It took 51 years before hard disk drives reached the size of 1 TB (terabyte, i.e. 1,000 GB).

In laptops and tablets, and increasingly even in desktops, the motherboard often incorporates the functions of the video card and sound card. This helps keep these types of computers small in size

The back end of the hard drive contains a port for a cable that connects to the motherboard. The type of cable used will depend on the type of drive but is almost always included with a hard drive purchase. Also here is a connection for power from the power supply.

chipset is a set of electronic components in an integrated circuit that manages the data flow between the processor, memory and peripherals. It is usually found in the motherboard of a computer. Chipsets are usually designed to work with a specific family of microprocessors. Because it controls communications between the processor and external devices, the chipset plays a crucial role in determining system performance.

Power Supply Unit

what is a PSU?

thank you for watching

the psu is vital for the operation of a computer

CPU stands for Central Processing Unit

fan!

The power supply unit's job is to convert the power provided from the outlet into usable power for the many parts inside the computer case

a cpu basically functions as the brain of your computer and its work is to process the commands contained with in your computer process

one of the best rated cpu is he intel core i7-3770k

HDD stands for hard disk drive

Chipsnet is just a net to hold chips

A system fan is a fan that will cool the entire computer system. Although it will not cool specific components within the computer case it will keep air moving throughout your computer case. In an effort to be competitive, many of the computer manufacturers keep their costs low by only having an exhaust fan at the power supply. In the new era of GHz these exhaust fans do little to keep the inside of your computer cool, let alone the specific component such as the CPU or hard drive.

Sound card!

graphic cards

A graphics card, also known as a video card, is a piece of hardware installed in a computer that is responsible for rendering the image on the computer’s monitor or display screen. Graphics cards come in many varieties with varying features that allow for a price range that extends from about $20 US Dollars (USD) to $2,400 USD or more.

Alternatively referred to as a sound board or an audio card, a sound card is an expansion card or integrated circuit that provides a computer with the ability to produce sounds that can be heard by the user either over speakers or headphones. The computer sound card is considered a peripheral, although the computer does not need a sound card to function almost every computer today will include a sound card in the expansion slot or on the motherboard

Ram

RAM stands for RANDOM ACESS MEMORY

Alternatively referred to as main memory, primary memory, or system memory, Random Access Memory (RAM) is a computer storage location that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations within DRAM on a memory module
