A motherboard is the main circuit board inside a computer that connects the different parts of a
computer together. It has sockets for the CPU, RAM and expansion cards and it also hooks up to
hard drives, disc drives and front panel ports with cables and wires.
Motherboard is also known as a mainboard, planar board or logic board, system board, mobo or
MB. It links all the individual parts of a computer together and also, allows the CPU to access
and control these separate parts. Other than bridging internal components, the motherboard ports
also allows you to connect external devices to the computer. Such external devices would
include the monitor, speakers, headphones, microphone, keyboard, mouse, modem and other
USB devices.
The functions of a computer motherboard are as follows:
1. The motherboard acts as the central backbone of a computer on which other modular
parts are installed such as the CPU, RAM and hard disks.
2. The motherboard also acts as the platform on which various expansion slots are available
to install other devices / interfaces.
3. The motherboard is also responsible to distribute power to the various components of the
computer.
4. They are also used in the coordination of the various devices in the computer and
maintain an interface among them.
What is processor?
Problem's solving
The term processor is used interchangeably with the term central processing unit (CPU),
although strictly speaking, the CPU is not the only processor in a computer. The GPU (graphics
processing unit) is the most notable example, but the hard drive and other devices within a
computer also perform some processing independently. Nevertheless, the term processor is
generally understood to mean the CPU.
Processors can be found in PCs, smartphones, tablets and other computers. The two main
competitors in the processor market are Intel and AMD.
What is Extra Fan?
Problem's Solving
In the IBM PC compatible market, the computer's power supply unit (PSU) almost always uses
an exhaust fan to expel warm air from the PSU. Active cooling on CPUs started to appear on the
Intel 80486, and by 1997 was standard on all desktop processors.[2] Chassis or case fans, usually
one exhaust fan to expel heated air from the rear and optionally an intake fan to draw cooler air
in through the front, became common with the arrival of the Pentium 4 in late 2000.[2]
