The three major parts of the computer refer to:CPUs, motherboards, and graphics cardsThese three are the three most important components of a computer. determines the performance of a computer. Today we focus on popularizing the knowledge of computer motherboards.
The computer mainboard, also known as the motherboard, is installed in the computer main chassis and is one of the most basic and important parts of the computer, and plays a pivotal role in the entire computer system. The quality of the motherboard manufacturing determines the stability of the hardware system. The motherboard is closely related to the CPU, and every major upgrade of the CPU will inevitably lead to the replacement of the motherboard. The motherboard is the core of the computer hardware system, and it is also the largest printed circuit board in the main chassis. The main function of the motherboard is to transmit various electronic signals, and some chips are also responsible for the initial processing of some peripheral data. All parts of the computer host are connected through the motherboard, and the control of system memory, storage devices and other IO devices during the normal operation of the computer must be completed through the motherboard. Whether the computer can be fully performed, whether the hardware is sufficient, and how compatible the hardware is, etc., all depend on the design of the motherboard. The quality of a motherboard determines to some extent the overall performance, age, and ability of a computer to expand its functions.
First, the structure of the motherboard
The so-called motherboard structure is a general standard formulated according to the layout and arrangement of each component on the motherboard, size, shape, power supply specifications, etc., which all motherboard manufacturers must follow.
ATX is the most common motherboard structure on the market in personal computers, with more expansion slots, the number of PCI slots is 4-6, and most motherboards use this structure;Micro ATX, also known as Mini ATX, is a simplified version of the ATX structure, which is often referred to as a "small board", with fewer expansion slots, and the number of PCI slots is 3 or less, mostly used in brand machines and equipped with small chassis.
Second, the chipset
At the heart of a motherboard is the motherboard chipset, which determines the specifications, performance, and approximate functionality of the motherboard. We usually say "H610 motherboard, H610 refers to the motherboard chipset." If the CPU is the heart of the entire computer system, then the chipset will be the torso of the entire system. For the motherboard, the chipset almost determines the function of the motherboard, which in turn affects the performance of the entire computer system, and the chipset is the soul of the motherboard. The quality of the chipset's performance determines the quality and level of motherboard performance, because the CPU has a wide variety of models and functions, and if the chipset cannot work well with the CPU, it will seriously affect the overall performance of the computer, or even not work normally.
Compatible with Intel platform Gen 1 CPUs. The price of the motherboard is from 399 to 5999, recommended in order from low to high, and the chipsets of the motherboard are: H610, B760, and Z790.
3. Expansion slots
The expansion slot on the motherboard, also known as the "bus slot", is the channel through which the host computer communicates with external devices through the system bus, and the adapter card used as the peripheral interface circuit is plugged into the expansion slot. Buying a motherboard should not only pay attention to the number of slots, but more importantly, the bus standard of the slotspci-express, the Chinese name isHigh-speed serial bus. pcie4.0 is the latest version of the stable protocol transmission standard.
Data exchange between the CPU and other high-speed devices needs to be transmitted through PCIe. Although PCIe50 has been published, but it has been adopted less.
Fourth, the main peripheral interfaces
Hard disk interface. In the early days, most of them used the IDE interface, supplemented by the SATA interface. At present, with the widespread adoption of SSDs, the motherboard interfaces are mainly SATA and M2 interfaces. m.2. The speed of the interface is twice as fast as SATA.
USB interface.
Currently, USB3 is mainly supported0.

6. Summary
The motherboard plays a pivotal role in the entire microcomputer system. It can be said that the type and grade of the motherboard determine the type and grade of the entire microcomputer system, and the performance of the motherboard affects the performance of the entire microcomputer system.
