Question 1
The five major DISTINCT major internal computer component that would be in the report
are
1. The first major component is Motherboard
2. The second major distinct is Central Processing unit (CPU)
3. The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), commonly known as a video card, is the third 
main distinguishing feature.
4. The fourth distinct major internal computer component is the Power Supply unit
5. The fifth major Distinct component would have to be Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

Three motherboard characteristics are:

The first motherboard characteristic is that this is rectangular in shape and with

a desktop computer a motherboard is mounted up inside the case and is often seen

standing up beside the desktop. The motherboard in a desktop computer is located

inside the casing, on the outer edge from the most easily accessible side. It's held in

place with tiny bolts who go through post slots or also seen with physical eye sight

pre drilled holes or slot.

The second motherboard characteristics based on [ CITATION Tim21 \l 8201 ] is said

that when you look at the motherboard all of the internal components connect to the

motherboard's ports on its front. The CPU is housed in a single socket/slot. Numerous

ports allow for both the attachment of one or more memory modules. Additional

connections upon on motherboard let the hard drive and optical drive and, if present,

the floppy disk) to communicate through network links.

The third characteristics of the motherboard is that there are several ports that you

can see clearly on the front of the motherboard which are a variety of peripherals card

ports are also located the front of the motherboard. Several video cards, sound cards,

and other expansion cards are attached to the system via these slots.

Three Central processing unit characteristics are:

The first characteristic of a Central Processing unit is that it is cuboid in shape

A central processing unit (CPU) is a silicon embedded system, sometimes known as a

computer chip. This is due to the fact that it is made up of a square piece of crystalline

silicon that is extremely thin. It also has a series of tiny pins sticking out around it in a

square format.

The second characteristic of a Central Processing unit is that the CPU also

has a very detailed design on top that is made up of the transistors and wiring that

were processed into the silicon, a silicon chip comprises millions of tiny but it by

extremely small wires. The chip is often linked to the remainder of the system by very

thin wire connections. [ CITATION Dav20 \l 8201 ].

The third characteristic of a Central Processing unit is that the CPU also have a little

triangle at the top left this way you will know how to correctly place it so that the pins

cannot be damaged if place incorrectly. The CPUs are typically compact and square

in shape, with a slew of short, rounder metal connectors on the underside. Some

vintage CPUs use pins rather than metallic connectors. The CPU is intrinsically linked

to a CPU "port" (or, in certain cases, a "slot") on the motherboard.

Three characteristics of a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) are:

The first characteristic of a Hard Disk Drive is that every disk platter is flat

and round in shape. Its two materials are coated with a magnetic substance, and data

is stored on them. Hard disk platters are composed of stiff metal or glass.

A second feature of a hard disk drive is that it is made up of numerous round disks ter

med platter which are enclosed on the inside of a container.

The hard disk drive is also rectangular in shape, with a circle-shaped container to

house the disk. The data-storage component of the drive is composed of a number of

platters mounted on a spinner, also known as the spindle. (S., (1998).

The spindle is linked to a motor that spins the platters. Platters are typically composed

of aluminium and have a magnetizable layer applied to them.

Three Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) characteristics

The first characteristic of a GPU is that it is rectangular in shape also Graphics cards

are often large, bulky drop-in devices for desktop computers with one, 2, or triple

fans. Such cards have the GPU chips as well as RAM to support larger graphics

demands, such as video games. The components are kept cool by ventilation.

The second characteristic of GPU is that it has ports on the side which are use for

connection, and the third characteristic is that it has a fan at the top side of the GPU

for cooling and ventilation purposes.

Three characteristics of the Random-Access Memory (RAM).

The first characteristics of a Power supply unit is that it is cuboid in shape and have a

height of approximately 150 mm width, 86 mm height, and commonly 140 mm depth,

however this might vary between product to product. Many powers supply include

sleeved cables, which, in addition to becoming more aesthetically beautiful.

The second characteristics that the power supply has is that of its many cords the

power supply has cords such as the major function of the Power Supply Unit (PSU) is

to give power to your motherboard. This is accomplished by the use of a 20-pin or 24-

pin connector. A 24-pin cable is fully compatible with a 20-pin motherboard; this

connection is frequently divided in 20- and 4-pin segments.

The third characteristics of a power supply unit is that I have a fan at the side in order

to generate air so that the system can flow properly,[ CITATION Com20 \l 8201 ] a

fan housed within a power source The power supply fan exhausts warmer air from the

power supply as well as the computer.

Question 2

Computer fan is important and a computer technician may suggest it to be use for

cooling a computer system because A computer fan's principal function is to keep a system

cooled. CPUs as well as other components within computers can become extremely hot, even

hot enough to fry an egg. Unless the device uses a fluid cooling, maintaining the called

leading is vital. [ CITATION Rya15 \l 1033 ]A computer technician may also suggest this cooling

system because ventilation is being used to bring cooler air externally into the case, remove

heat from within, and circulate air all over a heat sink to cool a component. [ CITATION

Ben20 \l 1033 ]. One modification that a video editor's PC may occur in order for the cooling

system to be efficient is to give it a good clean in order to make the computer fan more

effective reason being is that other pollutants enter your Desktop or mac chassis as your fans

pull in air. Just as a library will collect dust if it isn't cleaned and polished on a regular basis,

your computer fans will likely get faster and faster if you don't give them a thorough cleaning

occasionally. this is a major change that a video editor must undergo in order to have an

effective computer fan cooling.

A computer technician may also suggest a heat sink for cooling for a computer

system mainly because A heatsink is a heating element that is passive and transfers’ heat. The

heatsink is often a metallic component that can be mounted to a device that emits energy in

the form of warmth in order to dissipate that warmth to a flowing liquid and avoid the device

from heating and burning up due to the overheating. This is similarly simple to set up and

will improve computer performance because it uses fresh air from outside. One modification

that a video editor's PC may undergo in order for the cooling system to be effective is that

[ CITATION And21 \l 1033 ],thermal performance of a heat sink can be improved by enhancing

conductive, convective, or radiative temperature distribution.

The third cooling system that a computer technician may suggest for a computer

system is heat pipes the reason that they would suggest heat pipes is because a heat pipe is a

thermal device that effectively transfers heat between two solid contacts by combining the

principles of thermal conductivity and phase transition. one modification that a video editor's

PC may undergo in order for the cooling system to be effective is that Heat sink fins absorb

heat from an electrical gadget and distribute it into the cooling fluid surrounding it. The

amount of heat transferred by a fin to the cooling medium reduces as the distance from the

heat sink's addressing. Using a material with higher thermal conductivity and lower the

aspect ratio of the fins serves to increase the total effectiveness of the fins.

The fourth cooling system that a computer technician can suggest for a computer system is

Liquid cooling the reason a computer technician may suggest liquid cooling is because Fans

in most pcs do an excellent task of maintaining electrical parts cool. However, for those who

wish to use high end hardware or force their PCs to operate quicker, a fan may not be

powerful enough. This is why a computer technician may want to suggest this form of

cooling. [ CITATION Tra21 \l 1033 ]If a system produces excessive heat, liquid cooling,

commonly known as water cooling, may be a better alternative. Putting liquids near sensitive

electronic equipment may seem contradictory, yet cooling using liquid is vastly more

efficient than cooling using air. one modification that a video editor's PC may undergo in

order for the cooling system to be effective because it will need a tubing this will allow your

PC to have Higher level of efficiency. 

 Kamish Tulloch Troubleshooting Section B Exam

The fifth cooling system that a computer technician may suggest is thermally advantaged

chassis because the fan configuration depressurization of the chassis interior with respect to

the outside air, as a result, all other chassis opening become intake vents. The primary intake

vents define in the design guide is the side panel vent however other smaller vents location

such as the front bezel and add in card areas can be very beneficial as well. The other reason

why the computer technician may suggest the thermally advantaged chassis is that airflow

balancing is critical to ensure the adequate cooling of all system components. That will be

very beneficial to the computer system if it is implemented in the computer system. One

modification that a video editor's PC may undergo in order for the coolant system to function

properly is that The CPU duct is the most significant component of the thermally

advantageous chassis design, and its placement is vital to its effectiveness. Its duct will be

located above the processor heatsink and placed so that the end of the duct is 12mm20mm

from the heat sink's top. This guarantees that the CPU heatsink only consumes cool air from

outside the chassis while also allowing some air to flow over there to cool other sections of

the computer.

Question 3

The first storage device a company may want to purchase is the hard disk drive mainly

because A hard drive is the piece of hardware that contains all of your digital stuff or content.

Digital content on a hard disk includes your papers, photographs, music, videos, applications,

application preferences, and system software. Internally and externally hard drives are both

possible. which would be great for your organization. Hard disk drives are often utilized as a

computer system storage device. The hard diskette is used in clients’ gadgets as well as

business storage systems in data centres workplace that these hard disk drives are

commonly used. The hard disk drive also posses some challenge, one of which is that it can

have file system corruption this simply means that not only are files vulnerable to destruction,

but the file system as well. In the worst-case scenario, if the file system becomes corrupted,

all data contained in the database will be irreparably harmed. In such circumstances, you will

need to repair the hard disk, which might be extremely complicated.

The second storage device a company may want to purchase is magnetic tape the reason that

this storage device would be most likely to be purchase is because it is Safe from Flood, fire,

and theft protection. Secure, Humidity and temperature protection. Cost-effective no backup

man hours or pricey equipment to deploy. Versatile - no data limits, quick access, and

complete management by you, which would be very beneficial to want to purchase in any

workplace this storage device is also in comparison to hard disks, which record capacity has

nearly hit its limit, magnetic tape-recording capacity is still rising, and next-generation

methods have been shown. Furthermore, the recorded area may be enlarged by having the

tape thin and lengthier, therefore future capacity improvements are possible. A workplace
 Kamish Tulloch Troubleshooting Section B Exam

that would be most likely to use a magnetic tape storage device in are The magnetic storage

tape rotating method can help hospitals, colleges, government officials, IT corporations, non-

profit organizations, and other organizations that must backup large amounts of data. These

are just a few examples of businesses that employ magnetic tape as a backup system.

[ CITATION Mic16 \l 8201 ]. The magnetic tape also has some short comings which means a

challenge or a known challenge is that the magnetic tape storage has is If the tape is put near

a magnetic field, such as a huge speaker or magnets, the data may be corrupted.
