System board
A system board forms the central part of computers. All other devices connect to the system board to be able to interact with each other.
The system board holds various controllers and connectors that help in exchange of data among various components of the computer. A
system board may also have integrated graphics, sound, and network capabilities. Some important components of a system board are:
Processor socket
Memory-module connectors
Expansioncard slots
CMOS to store the BIOS
Chipset
The chipset controls the components on the system board and enables communication between various components. Generally, the
chipset is part of the system board. However, with some new generation processors, the chipset may be integrated in the processor.
Processor
Processors receive data and instructions from applications and process the data as requested by the software. Processors are designed
specically for desktops, laptops, mobile devices, and so on. Generally, the processor designed for one type of device cannot be used on
another type of device. Processors designed for laptops and mobile devices consume less power compared to the processors designed for
desktops or servers.
Processors are mainly classied based on:
Number of processing cores
Speed or frequency measured in GigaHertz (GHz) or MegaHertz (MHz)
On-board memory, also referred to as cache
These aspects also determine the performance of the processor. Higher values generally mean better performance. Some processors may
be integrated on the system board. Some of the processor manufacturers are Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and so on.
Computer fan
A computer fan cools the internal components of a computer by expelling hot air from the computer. Computer fans are commonly used to
cool components that have high power consumption and thus generate a high amount of heat. Keeping the components cool helps in
protecting them from overheating, malfunctioning, and damage.
