Motherboards
A motherboard is a central printed circuit board in some complex systems, like a modern personal computer. The motherboard is also known as main board, and system board. On Apple computers it’s also known as the logic board. Most computer motherboards produced today are designed for IBM-compatible computers. Like a back-plane, motherboard provides the electrical connections by which the other components of the system communicate.
Unlike a back-plane, it also hosts the central processing unit, and other subsystems and devices. Motherboards are also used in other things besides computers. They can be used in things like mobile phones, stop-watches, clocks, and other small electronic devices. An important component of a motherboard on a desktop computer is the microprocessor’s supporting chip-set. It provides the supporting interfaces between the CPU and the various buses and external components.
Modern motherboards usually include sockets, clock generator, non-volatile memory, chipset, slots for expansion cards, and power connectors’ flickers. Motherboards are usually air cooled with heat sinks often mounted on larger chips, such as the north bridge, in modern motherboards. It’s good to make sure that the motherboard is always cooled. If it’s not cool gets too hot it can cause the computer to crash. Since the 1990s, most motherboards have required CPU fans mounted on their heat sinks, due to rising clock speeds and power consumption.
Some come with connectors for additional case fans and the newer ones have integrated temperature sensors. So that keeps them pretty cool for the most part. Mother boards come in many sizes and shapes. Some of that are specific to individual computer manufacturers and as of 2007 motherboards are available for as little as 30 dollars.
