Parts of Motherboard and Its Functions

Uploaded by

The motherboard is the main circuit board in a computer that connects all the other components like the CPU, RAM, hard drive, graphics card, and expansion cards. It provides the pathways for data, power, video, and audio throughout the system. Key components include the CPU, RAM, BIOS, expansion slots, northbridge, and southbridge chips. The power supply unit converts AC power from the wall outlet into stable DC power needed to run computer components safely and efficiently.

The power supply unit is the piece of hardware that's used to convert the power
provided from the outlet into usable power for the many parts inside the computer 
case.

It converts the alternating current (AC) into a continuous form of power that the
computer components need in order to run normally, called direct current (DC). It
also regulates overheating by controlling voltage, which may change automatically
or manually depending on the power supply.

Unlike some hardware components used with a computer that isn't necessarily
needed, as a printer, the power supply is a crucial piece because, without it, the rest
of the internal hardware can't function.

The power supply unit is often abbreviated as PSU and is also known as a power
pack or power converter.

Motherboards, cases, and power supplies all come in different sizes called 
form factors. All three must be compatible to work properly together.
A PSU is not usually user serviceable. For your safety, it's usually wise to never
open a power supply unit.
