- 7. Hardware We'll learnabout what's inside a computer. We'll learn all about the hardware components or different pieces inside a computer. We'll discover what each component does and how they work together to make a computer function. Once you figure out how one computer works, you'll be able to understand how any type of computer works. By the end of this lab, you will also know how to build a computer from scratch!
- 8. Computer System Acomputer system consists of hardware and software components. Hardware is the physical equipment such as the case, storage drives, keyboards, monitors, cables, speakers, and printers. Software includes the operating system and programs. The operating system instructs the computer how to operate. These operations may include identifying, accessing, and processing information. Programs or applications perform different functions. Programs vary widely, depending on the type of information that is accessed or generated. For example, instructions for balancing a checkbook are very different from instructions for simulating a virtual-reality world on the Internet.
- 9. Computer System Thereare six components that you’ll absolutely have to use in order to assemble a working PC. They include: Processor (or CPU)—the central processing unit, which acts as the “brain” of your PC. This will broadly determine the speed of your computer. You’ll have to choose a CPU and a motherboard that are compatible with each other, both in terms of manufacturer (Intel or AMD) and the CPU socket itself. Motherboard—the connective tissue of your PC build. Every other component will be attached to or plugged into the motherboard in some fashion. Memory (or RAM)—RAM stands for random access memory. This is a crucial component of your computer’s operation. You need to choose RAM that’s compatible with your motherboard’s RAM slots. Case—the PC case is what holds all the internal components together in a structure. Also known as an enclosure or chassis. Storage—your hard drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD), the part of the computer that holds the operating system and all your digital files. SSDs are much faster than hard drives, and are highly recommended these days, though HDDs are generally larger and cheaper. Power Supply (or PSU)—a heavy little box that regulates the electricity going into your computer and provides power to the individual components. The power supply will directly connect to the motherboard, CPU (through the motherboard), storage, and other add-on components as necessary.
- 10. Central Processing Unit(CPU) The central processing unit (CPU) is considered the computer’s brain. In terms of computing power, the CPU is the most important element of a computer system. Common CPU manufacturers include Intel and AMD. Examples: Intel Core i9, AMD Ryzen 9
- 11. Central Processing Unit(CPU) The CPU socket or slot is the connector that is the interface between the motherboard and the processor. “Land grid array” (LGA) consists of a socket with pins that you place the processor on. PGA (“pin grid array”), on the other hand, places the pins on the processor. In the modern computing era, commonly Intel CPUs use LGA sockets, while AMD CPUs use PGA. zero insertion force (ZIF), Fr
- 12. Central Processing Unit(CPU) A CPU’s power is measured by its speed and the amount of data it can process. The speed of current CPUs is measured in millions of cycles per second, called megahertz (MHz), or billions of cycles per second, called gigahertz (GHz). The amount of data that a CPU can process at the one time depends on the size of the processor data bus, Current processors have a 32-bit or 64-bit processor data bus. Overclocking is a technique used to make a processor work at a faster speed than its original specification. Intel® Core™ i7-7700K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.50 GHz) Product Specifications
- 13. Central Processing Unit(CPU) The thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, is the maximum amount of heat generated by a computer chip or component (often a CPU, GPU or system on a chip) that the cooling system in a computer is designed to dissipate under any workload. Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is a technique for improving the overall efficiency of superscalar CPUs with hardware multithreading. pcpartpicker.com
- 14. Central Processing Unit(CPU) How to Pick the Right CPU for Your PC: - AMD or Intel: Generally Intel is more popular while AMD offers more cheaper options with nearly same performance, AMD also offers designs that have much more powerful integrated graphics than Intel, referred to as “APU” models. - Performance: Due to advancements in processor design, it’s hard to express exactly how powerful a processor is based on a single factor like its clock speed. There are other factors, like how many cores it has, what kind of cache it has, power consumption, and integrated graphics performance - If you really want to know which processor is faster in a direct comparison, you’ll need to go look at some benchmarks.
- 15. Motherboard The motherboardis the main printed circuit board found in general purpose computers and other expandable systems. It holds, and allows, communication between many of the crucial electronic components of a system. The form factor of motherboards pertains to the board’s size and shape. It also describes the physical layout of the different components and devices on the motherboard. Motherboards have various form factors: ■ Advanced Technology Extended (ATX) ■ (Mini-ATX) ■ (Micro-ATX) Further Reading
- 16. Motherboard The chipset of a motherboard allows the CPU to communicate and interact with the computer’s other components and to exchange data with system memory (RAM), hard-disk drives, video cards, and other output devices. The chip set establishes how much memory can be added to a motherboard. The chip set also determines the type of connectors on the motherboard.
- 17. Motherboard How toPick the Right Motherboard for Your PC: - Socket: You need to choose a CPU and a motherboard that will fit each other. - Size: The motherboard you choose needs to be compatible with the case you’re using. - Power Supply pins - Other Features: At least one PCI-Express slot for a graphics card, enough SATA ports for all your hard drives and DVD drives, supports the amount of RAM you want, check the back panel, sound, Ethernet, USB 3.0 ports, and even on- board Wi-Fi, If you already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, you want to make sure that the motherboard supports them.
- 18. Case A computercase contains the framework to support a computer’s internal components while providing an enclosure for added protection The size and layout of a case is called a form factor. You must consider many factors when choosing a case: ■ The size of the motherboard ■ The number of external or internal drive locations, called bays ■ Available space
- 19. Power Supply Thepower supply, converts alternating-current (AC) power coming from a wall outlet into direct-current (DC) power, which is a lower voltage. DC power is required for all the components inside the computer. Form factor Wattage
- 20. Power Supply Efficiencyrating, 80 Plus is a certification designed to denote that the efficiency of the power supply. Modular PSU allows the builder to attach (or detach) cables as they're needed. Traditional power supplies, on the other hand, have the cables attached permanently to the PSU. Power supply connectors.
