HARDWARE
PART OF THE
COMPUTER
MOTHERBOARD
Motherboard is a vital component in a
computer system that functions as a
central hub connecting various hardware
devices. In the next slide, I will provide a
detailed explanation of the motherboard,
including its functions and the key
components that make it up.
MAIN FUNCTION OF THE
MOTHERBOARD

DATA FLOW MANAGEMENT

Through the system bus, the motherboard manages


the flow of data between the CPU, RAM, and storage
devices, enabling fast and efficient data transfer.
THE PROCESSOR
(CPU)
The processor, or CPU (Central Processing
Unit), is a key component of a computer
system that functions as the "brain" of the
device. The processor is responsible for
executing instructions, managing data, and
controlling the flow of information
between various computer components.
HOW THE
PROCESSOR
WORKS

RANDOM ACCESS
MEMORY (RAM)
Random Access Memory (RAM) is an
important component in computer devices
that functions as temporary data storage.
RAM allows the system to access data
quickly, thereby affecting the overall
performance of the device.
MAIN FUNCTION OF THE
RAM
TEMPORARY DATA STORAGE ENABLING MULTITASKING

RAM serves as a storage space for data currently in use


A larger RAM capacity allows a computer to run multiple

becomes faster compared to retrieving it from long-term
storage like a hard drive.

ACCELERATING DATA PROCESSING

RAM helps speed up data processing by providing


storage space for the instructions and data needed by
the CPU. This reduces the time required to fetch data
from slower storage devices.
POWER SUPPLY
UNIT
The Power Supply Unit (PSU) is a crucial
component in a computer system that
functions as the power provider. The PSU
converts electrical current from an
external source (usually AC from the
power grid) into the DC current required
by the components within the computer.
MAIN FUNCTION OF THE
POWER SUPPLY UNIT
STABLE POWER SUPPLY PROTECTION AGAINST DAMAGE

The PSU is responsible for providing stable electrical The PSU includes protective features such as
current to all components in the system. Voltage overcurrent protection and short circuit protection.

POWER DISTRIBUTION

The PSU distributes power to various components


through different connectors. Each connector has a
specific function, such as the 20/24-pin connector for
the motherboard and the 4/8-pin connector for the
processor.
GRAPHIC CARD
(VGA)
A graphics card, often referred to as a
VGA (Video Graphics Array) card, is a
crucial hardware component in a computer
system, especially for applications that
require intensive graphics processing such
as gaming, graphic design, and video
editing.
MAIN FUNCTION OF THE
GRAPHIC CARD
GRAPHICS PROCESSING IMPROVING VISUAL PERFORMANCE

The graphics card is responsible for processing graphic The graphics card is responsible for processing graphic
data and translating it into images that can be displayed data and translating it into images that can be displayed
on the monitor. This includes rendering both 2D and 3D on the monitor. This includes rendering both 2D and 3D
graphics, as well as processing visual effects. graphics, as well as processing visual effects.

REDUCING CPU LOAD

By offloading graphics processing tasks from the CPU to


the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), the graphics card
helps reduce the workload on the CPU, allowing it to
focus on other tasks.
