In my journey to improve my computer's performance, I took it apart to explore its components. Starting with the essential computer fan, which cools by drawing in air, to the critical CPU that executes instructions. I examined the power supply, DIMM sockets for RAM, and the motherboard with its various connectors. I also looked at the Western Digital HDD for storage clarity and my own PC build details. Discovering how each piece contributes to performance was intriguing—and even learning about the protective mechanisms like fan guards.
