motyerboard parts

1. MOTHERBOARD is also called the "System Board," it is the main printed circuit board in an electronic device, which contains sockets or slots that accept additional boards. PARTS OF THE MOTHERBOARD

2. CPU HOLDER is a portion in the motherboard which holds the CPU (Central Processing Unit) or simply as processor.

3. MEMORY (RAM) HOLDER this is the slot where you will insert the memory module or memory card. Some motherboard comes with two to four slots. Aside from the motherboard specification, looking at the memory slots would help you to know which type of memory card is compatible.

4. POWER SUPPLY CONTROLER is the portion where you can connect the power supply unit (PSU) cable connector. Motherboards come with different power supply controller. Old motherboard needs AT power supply unit while new motherboard needs ATX power supply

5. North Bridge Chipset- this chipset handles the data-transfer duties of memory, CPU, and AGP and to make the most efficient use of available resources.

6. South Bridge Chipset- this chipset component provides support for a wide variety of devices with many differing bus speeds and designs. Control over secondary buses such as USB, IDE, PS/2, Ethernet is the Southbridge's main role.

7. CMOS or BIOS Chip: (Complementary Metal Oxide Semi-conductor) is also a chipset which contains the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The BIOS is the built-in software that tells what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk.

8. CMOS BATTERY is a battery that maintains the time, date, hard disk and other configuration settings in the CMOS memory. CMOS batteries are small and are attached directly to the motherboard.

9. EIDE (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics) CONTROLLER FOR HARDISK AND OPTICAL DRIVE are the connectors to which you will insert an IDE cable (supplied with motherboard). IDE cables connect devices such as hard drive, CD Drives and DVD Drives.

10. IDE CONTROLLER FOR FLOPPY DRIVE: smaller than the IDE controller of hard drive and optical drive. This is where you connect the floppy drive thru IDE cable.

11. SATA CONTROLLER -Newest computer mother boards have the new interface called Serial Advance Technology Attachment (S-ATA). SATA has a faster transfer rate than ATA and only 1 device can be attached to it.

12. AGP (Accelerated Graphic Port) was designed specifically for AGP video cards. AGP provided a faster bus speed (66 MHz 1x - 133Mhz 2x - 266Mhz 4x effectively). AGP is a port not a bus unlike the ISA and PCI local buses because it is not expandable, it only involves the two devices the graphics card and the CPU.

13. PCI-EXPRESS: Peripheral Component Interconnect Express. Officially abbreviated as PCI-E or PCIe , is a computer expansion card standard introduced by Intel in 2004, and currently is the most recent and high-performance standard for expansion cards that is generally available on modern personal computers. PCIe was designed to replace PCI, PCI-X, and AGP. Unlike previous PC expansion standards, rather than being a shared parallel bus, it is structured around point-to-point serial links called lanes.

14. PCI: Peripheral Component Interconnect. Some pc’s have a number of PCI slots from 1 up to about 6. These PCI bus runs at 33Mhz and normally 32bits. The PCI bus was the first one to fully support plug and play, where IRQ's and other resources are set up by the OS and there are no need to alter jumpers etc on the hardware. You may insert different peripherals on PCI bus, from sound cards to DVD decoders and graphics accelerators.

15. FRONT PANEL PINS – These are pins in the motherboard that will connect the Power Button, Reset Button, Power LED, Mini Speaker, USB ports and other ports to the motherboard

16. PS2 PORT DISPLAY PORT DVI PORT USB 2.0 PORTS LAN PORT AUDIO PORT USB 2.O PORT HDMI PORT VGA PORT USB 3.0 PORT E-SATA PORT IEEE 1394a Port BIOSTAR TH67XE MOTHERBOARD BACK PANEL PORTS

17. BIOSTAR TH67XE MOTHERBOARD BACK PANEL PORTS
