The motherboard is the central component of the computer that connects and powers all other components. It holds chips and circuits that allow communication between components like the CPU, RAM, graphics card, and hard drive. The hard drive stores the operating system and programs, while the CPU carries out instructions to perform basic functions. Other key components include the power supply, which converts power for components, and RAM for temporary storage when running programs. Peripherals like keyboards, mice, and monitors allow interaction with the computer.

1. Motherboard
A motherboard
looks like this.
The motherboard is the
centre part of the
Computer.
It holds the
Components and connects them together with a
series of circuits and chips . This is also helps power
each component

2. Hard drive(HDD)
• Hard drive is a very important Component.
• The hard drive stores most of the computers
information including the operating system and
all of your programs.
• Almost all computers have one or more.

3. case
• The computer's case hold all the components
• It has a USB Port and disk drive
• They sometimes have built in fans

4. Sound card
• The sound card is the main component for
sound also know as the audio card
• The input and output of audio signals to and
from a computer under control of the
computer programs.
• Most sound cards are integrated into the
motherboard with the video card

5. Disk drive
• A disk drive is a optical drive that
reads compact disks like DVDs and
CD
• The drive uses a laser light to read the
information on the disc

6. CPU (Central processing unit)
• The Central processing unit carries out the
instructions of a computer program, it performs the
basic input/output operations of the system.
• The power of a CPU is currently measured
In gigahertz (GHz) and are 64-bit
it ran faster
• Newer CPUs use multi cores, this means
There is more then one chip inside the processer

7. Graphics card
• The graphics card gives a video output to the
monitor
• They mostly use PCI,PCIe
and AGP slots to fit into
the motherboard but
most modern graphic cards are integrated into the
motherboard
• They use HDMI,DVI and VGA ports to connect to
the visual display device

8. Heat sink
• The heat sink cools the computer down so it
does not over heat
• It removes waste heat made by computer
components
• It keeps components within their safe
operating temperature

9. Heat extractor
• The heat extractor is for getting rid of waste
heat so the CPU will not melt or crash

10. Power supply
• The power supply in the computer provides all
of the different voltages your computer needs
to operate properly
• It converts AC voltage
from the mains into DC
voltage

11. RAM (random access memory)
• RAM is for running and loading applications
• RAM is also used for advance gaming and
graphics software
• It also a temporary storage device for
computer data

12. firewire
• FireWire is a method of transferring
information between digital devices,
especially audio and video equipment
• Firewire is 400 MB/s or 800 MB/s
• Not many peripherals use firewire, it is mainly
used for cameras and camera recorders

13. Sata cable
• The sata cable has seven conductors, one
keyed connector for the drive, and one keyed
connector the drive controller.

14. Peripherals
• Peripherals are keyboards,mice,monitors
and other external hardware components
• They are used to interact with the
computers UI
• Microphones and digital pens can be
used for also to create works of art
• They typically use USB as a port
