However, it is good to know some of the more important parts and how the motherboard connects the various parts of a computer system together. Here are some of the typical parts: - A CPU socket - the actual CPU is directly soldered onto the socket. Since high speed CPUs generate a lot of heat, there are heat sinks and mounting points for fans right next to the CPU socket. - Take note that CPUs only support a single socket type so it mus match with the motherboards socket to work. Socket types usually change every few generations and it also varies per label(consumer-grade CPUs, HEDT, server CPUs) + Take note that CPUs only support a single socket type so it must match with the motherboards socket to work. Socket types usually change every few generations and it also varies per label(consumer-grade CPUs, HEDT, server CPUs) - A power connector to distribute power to the CPU and other components. - Slots for the system's main memory, typically in the form of DRAM chips. - A chip forms an interface between the CPU, the main memory and other components. On many types of motherboards, this is referred to as the Northbridge. This chip also contains a large heat sink. In recent years, features of the Northbridge have been increasingly integrated into the CPU itself.
