The motherboard is present in every computer and is an important part of it. Other internal and external components are connected to it, forming a whole system. The component is a set of chips and different connectors that are in the same palette and interconnected. Today we will talk about the important details of the motherboard.

Computer motherboard components
Almost every user understands the role of motherboard in PC, but there are facts that not everyone knows. We suggest you read our second article at the link below to read this article in more detail, but we'll move on to the ingredients analysis.

Chip set
You should start with the connected element  the chipset. It has two types of structures, different in relation to bridges. The north and south bridges can go separately or meet in the same system. Each of them has a variety of on-board controllers, for example, the South Bridge provides interconnection of peripheral equipment, it has hard disk controllers. The North Bridge serves as a combination of processor, graphics card, RAM and items controlled by the South Bridge.
Above, we link to the article "How to choose a motherboard". In it, you can familiarize yourself with the details of the famous component manufacturers' preparations and chip set differences.

Processor socket
The processor socket is the connector where the component is actually installed. Now the main manufacturers of CPUs are AMD and Intel, each of which has developed a unique socket, so the motherboard model has been selected based on the selected CPU. As for the connector itself, it is a small square with many pins. From above, the socket is covered with a metal plate with a holder - this helps the processor to stay in the socket.

Typically, the U CPU_FAN socket is located close to the power cooler, and the board itself has four holes for installing it.

There are many types of sockets, many of which are incompatible with each other, as their connectivity and form factor are different. Read how to detect this feature in our other content at the links below.

PCI and PCI Express
The PCI manuscript is understood literally and is translated as the interconnectedness of the peripheral components. The name was given to the same bus in the computer system board. Its main purpose is to input and output information. There are several modifications to the PCI, each of which differs in peak bandwidth, voltage, and form factor. This connector includes TV toner, sound cards, SATA adapters, modems and old video cards. PCI Express only uses the PCI software model, but this is a very new development designed to connect a lot of complex devices. The form of the slot depends on the element, video cards, SSDs, wireless network adapters, professional sound cards, and much more.
The number of PCI and PCI-E slots on motherboards varies. When choosing this, you need to pay attention to the details to make sure that you have the necessary slots.

RAM connector
RAM slots are called DIMMs. All modern motherboards use this form element. There are several types of contact, they are different in number of contacts and do not correspond to each other. The more contacts there are, the more sophisticated RAM plate is installed in such connectors. At this point, editing DDR4 is relevant. As in the case of PCI, the number of DIMM slots on motherboard models varies. Most often there are options with two or four connectors, which allows you to work in two or four channel format.

BIOS chip
Most users are familiar with the BIOS. However, if you are hearing of such a concept for the first time, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with our other material on the subject, which you will find at the following link.

The BIOS code is located on a separate chip attached to the motherboard. This is called EEPROM. This type of memory supports multiple erasures and data recording, but its capacity is very limited. In the screenshot below, you can see what the BIOS chip looks like on the motherboard.
In addition, BIOS parameter values are stored in a dynamic memory chip called CMOS. It also records some computer configurations. This element is powered by a separate battery, the change of which causes the BIOS settings to be reset to factory settings.

Sata & IDE connector
Previously, hard drives and optical drives were connected to a computer using the IDE interface (ATA) on the motherboard.

Now there are usually seta connectors of different revisions, which differ fundamentally from the speed of data transfer. Considered interfaces are used to connect information storage devices (HDD or SSD). When choosing components, it is important to consider the number of such ports on the motherboard, as they can be two pieces or more.

Power connector
In addition to the numerous slots on the component under consideration, there are several connectors for power supply. The largest is the motherboard port itself. A power supply cable is stuck there, ensuring an accurate supply of power to all other components.

External interface
All peripheral computer devices are connected to the system board using dedicated connectors. On the motherboard side panel, you can see the USB interface, serial port, VGA, Ethernet network port, voice output and input where the cable from the microphone, headphones and speakers is inserted. On each component model, the set of connectors varies.
We reviewed the key components of the motherboard in detail. As you can see, the panel has many slots, microcircuits and connectors for connected power, internal components and peripherals. We hope that the above information has helped you to understand the structure of this component of PC.
