  1. 6 Key Hardware Components That Power Your Computer Welcome! Attitude Academy is a premier institute. We offer comprehensive courses in Computer Hardware and IT. We are dedicated to providing hands-on tech training.

  2. The Central Processing Unit (CPU): The Brain of the Operation The CPU is the computer's primary processing component. It executes instructions and performs calculations. Think of it as the brain of the computer. Core Clock speed Cooling Multi-core CPUs can handle multiple tasks simultaneously. CPUs generate heat and require effective cooling solutions. Clock speed affects how quickly a CPU can execute instructions.

  3. Random Access Memory (RAM): Short-Term Data Storage RAM provides fast, temporary storage for data. This includes the data the CPU is actively using. More RAM improves performance. Volatile Speed Capacity Data in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off. RAM is much faster than hard drives or SSDs. RAM capacity is measured in gigabytes (GB).

  4. The Motherboard: Connecting All the Pieces The motherboard serves as the central hub. It connects all the computer's components. It allows them to communicate. Form Factor Sockets 1 2 ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX are common motherboard sizes. The motherboard has sockets for the CPU, RAM, and expansion cards. Chipset 3 The chipset controls communication between components.

  5. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU): Rendering Visuals The GPU handles rendering images and video. It's essential for gaming and graphic-intensive tasks. A dedicated GPU boosts performance. 1 Memory Clock Speed 2 4 Output Cooling 3

  6. Storage Devices: Hard Drives and Solid State Drives (HDDs & SSDs) HDDs and SSDs store data permanently. SSDs are faster and more reliable. HDDs offer larger capacity at a lower cost. HDD Traditional mechanical storage. SSD Faster, flash-based storage. NVMe Fastest SSDs, connect directly to the motherboard.

  7. Power Supply Unit (PSU): Delivering the Juice The PSU provides power to all the components. Wattage rating is important. Ensure it meets the system's requirements. Efficiency 1 80+ certified PSUs waste less power. Wattage 2 Choose a PSU with enough power for all components. Connectors 3 Ensure the PSU has the necessary connectors.
