Components of Central Processing Unit
A central processing unit (CPU), also referred to as a central processor unit, is the hardware
within acomputer that carries out theinstructions of acomputer programby performing the
basic arithmetical, logical, andinput/output operations of the system. The term has been in use in
the computer industry at least since the early 1960s. The form,design, and implementation of
CPUs have changed over the course of their history, but their fundamental operation remains
much the same.
A computer can have more than one CPU; this is calledmultiprocessing. Someintegrated
circuits (ICs) can contain multiple CPUs on a single chip; those ICs are calledmulti-core
processors.
Not all computational systems rely on a central processing unit. An array processor orvector
processor has multiple parallel computing elements, with no one unit considered the "center". In
thedistributed computing model, problems are solved by a distributed interconnected set ofprocessors.
The abbreviation CPU is sometimes used incorrectly by people who are not computer specialists
to refer to thecased main part of adesktop computer containing the motherboard, processor,disk
drives,etc., i.e., not thedisplay monitor orkeyboard.
MOTHERBOARD
A motherboard (sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard, system board, planar
board or logic board, or colloquially, a mab0) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) found
incomputers and other expandable systems. It holds many of the crucial electronic components

of the system, such as thecentral processing unit (CPU) andmemory,and provides connectors
for otherperipherals.Unlike abackplane,a motherboard contains significant sub-systems such
as the processor.
Motherboard specifically refers to aPCB with expansion capability - the board is the "mother" of
all components attached to it, which often includesound cards,video cards,network cards,hard
drives or other forms of persistent storage,TV tuner cards,cards providing
extraUSB orFirewire slots, and a variety of other custom components. A motherboard provides
the electrical connections by which the other components of the system communicate. Unlike a
backplane, it also contains thecentral processing unit and hosts other subsystems and devices.
A typicaldesktop computer has itsmicroprocessor,main memory,and other essential
components connected to the motherboard. Other components such asexternal storage,
controllers forvideo display andsound,andperipheral devices may be attached to the
motherboard as plug-in cards or via cables, in modern computers it is increasingly common to
integrate some of these peripherals into the motherboard itself.
An important component of a motherboard is the microprocessor's supportingchipset,which
provides the supporting interfaces between the CPU and the various buses and external
components. This chipset determines, to an extent, the features and capabilities of the
motherboard.

SMPS : Switched-Mode Power Supply
A switched-mode power supply(switching-mode power supply, SMPS, or switcher) is an
electronicpower supply that incorporates a switching regulator toconvert electrical
power efficiently. Like other power supplies, an SMPS transfers power from a source, likemains
power,to a load, such as apersonal computer,convertingvoltage andcurrent characteristics.
Unlike alinear power supply,the pass transistor of a switching-mode supply continually
switches between low-dissipation,full-on and full-off states, and spends very little time in the
high dissipation transitions, which minimizes wasted energy. Ideally, a switched-mode power
supply dissipates no power.Voltage regulation is achieved by varying the ratio of on-to-off time.
In contrast, a linear power supply regulates the output voltage by continually dissipating power
in the passtransistor.This higher power conversion efficiency is an important advantage of a
switched-mode power supply. Switched-mode power supplies may also be substantially smaller
and lighter than a linear supply due to the smaller transformer size and weight.
Switching regulators are used as replacements for linear regulators when higher efficiency,
smaller size or lighter weight are required. They are, however, more complicated; their switching
currents can cause electrical noise problems if not carefully suppressed, and simple designs mayhave a poorpower factor.
RAM: Random-access memory(RAM) is a form ofcomputer data storage.A random-access
device allows storeddata to be accessed directly in any random order. In contrast, other data
storage media such ashard disks,CDs,DVDs andmagnetic tape,as well as early primarymemory types such asdrum memory,read and write data only in a predetermined order,
consecutively, because of mechanical design limitations. Therefore the time to access a given
data location varies significantly depending on its physical location.
Today, random-access memory takes the form ofintegrated circuits.Strictly speaking, modern
types ofDRAM are not random access, as data is read in bursts, although the nameDRAM /
RAM has stuck. However, many types ofSRAM,ROM,OTP,andNOR flash are stillrandom

access even in a strict sense. RAM is normally associated withvolatile types of memory (such
asDRAMmemory modules), where its stored information is lost if the power is removed. Many
other types of non-volatile memory are RAM as well, including most types ofROM and a type
offlash memory calledNOR-Flash.The first RAM modules to come into the market were
created in 1951 and were sold until the late 1960s and early 1970s.
CPU Fan
A computer fanis anyfan inside, or attached to, acomputer case used foractive cooling,and
may refer to fans that draw cooler air into the case from the outside, expel warm air from inside,
or move air across aheat sink to cool a particular component.Asprocessors,graphicscards,RAM and other components in computers have increased in speed and power
consumption, the amount of heat produced by these components as aside-effect of normal
operation has also increased. These components need to be kept within a specified temperature
range to prevent overheating, instability, malfunction and damage leading to a shortened
component lifespan.
While in earlier personal computers it was possible to cool most components using
naturalconvection (passive cooling), many modern components require more effective active
cooling. To cool these components, fans are used to move heated air away from the components
and draw cooler air over them. Fans attached to components are usually used in combination

with aheat sink to increase the area of heated surface in contact with the air, thereby improving
the efficiency of cooling.
In theIBM compatible PC market, the computer'spower supply unit (PSU) almost always uses
an exhaust fan to expel warm air from the PSU. Active cooling on CPUs started to appear on the
Intel 80486,and by 1997 was standard on all desktop processors.[1]
Chassis or case fans, usually
one exhaust fan to expel heated air from the rear and optionally an intake fan to draw cooler air
in through the front, became common with the arrival of thePentium 4 in late 2000.[1]
A third
vent fan in the side of the PC, often located over the CPU, is also common. Thegraphics
processing unit (GPU) on many modern graphics cards also requires a heat sink and fan. In some
cases, thenorth bridge chip on themotherboard has another fan and heat sink. Other components
such as thehard drives and RAM may also be actively cooled, though as of 2012 this remains
relatively unusual. It is not uncommon to find five or more fans in a modern PC.
Case mount
Used to aerate the case of the computer. The components inside the case cannot dissipate heat
efficiently if the surrounding air is too hot. Case fans move air through the case, usually drawing
cooler outside air in through the front (where it may also be drawn over the internal hard drive
racks) and expelling it through the rear. There may be a third fan in the side or top of the case to
draw outside air into the vicinity of the CPU, which is usually the largest single heat source.
Standard case fans are 80 mm, 92 mm, 120 mm, 140 mm, 200 mm, 230 mm in width and length.
As case fans are often the most readily visible form of cooling on a PC, decorative fans are
widely available and may be lit withLEDs,made ofUV-reactive plastic, and covered with
decorative grilles. Decorative fans and accessories are popular withcase modders.Air filters are
often used over intake fans, to preventdust from entering the case.
Apower supply (PSU) fan often plays a double role, not only keeping the PSU itself from
overheating, but also removing warm air from inside the case. PSUs with two fans are also
available, which typically have a fan on the inside to supply case air into the PSU and a second
fan on the back to expel the heated air.
CPU fan
Used to cool theCPU (central processing unit) heat sink. Effective cooling of a concentrated heat
source such as alarge-scale integrated circuit requires a heat sink, which may be cooled by a fan;
use of a fan alone will not prevent overheating of the small chip.
Graphics card fan
Used to cool the heat sink of thegraphics processing unit or the memory ongraphics cards.
These fans were not necessary on older cards because of their low power dissipation, but most
modern graphics cards designed for 3D graphics and gaming need their own dedicated coolingfans. Some of the higher powered cards can produce more heat than the CPU (dissipating up to
289 watts[2]
), so effective cooling is especially important. Since 2010 graphics cards have been
released with eitheraxial fans or acentrifugal fan commonly known as a blower or squirrel cage
fan.

Chipset fan
Used to cool the hea sink of the north bridge of a motherboard'schipset;this may be needed
where thesystem bus is significantlyoverclocked and dissipates more power than is usual, but
may otherwise be unnecessary. As more features of the chipset are integrated into thecentral
processing unit,the role of the chipset has been reduced.
