The computer's timing mechanism that synchronizes operations and provides timing signals for the CPU.

Measurement of how fast the system clock operates, typically in MHz or GHz.

Peripheral Component Interconnect bus connects CPU, memory, and peripherals; introduced in 1995.

Peripheral Component Interface Express; a serial communication system for point-to-point connections.

Two wire pairs in PCIe for transmitting and receiving data; each component has specific lane support.

The speed at which data is transferred via PCIe; varies by version.

PCIe can supply power to devices through motherboard slots and connectors.

A type of bus specifically for communicating with storage devices like HDDs and SSDs.

Dual In-line Memory Module, a type of memory packaging.

A set of controllers that manage communication between components.

Battery that powers the RTC to keep track of date and time.

Connections for data transfer between motherboard components and peripherals.

Internal bus connecting components directly to the CPU for high speed.

External bus allowing additional components to connect to the computer.

Connection slots for adapter cards to extend computer functions.

A board that allows expansion slots to be positioned at right angles.

Full tower, mid tower, mini tower, and slimline case types for PCs.

Components like adapters that can be replaced by technicians on-site.

Steps to safely disassemble a PC, including backing up data and using tools.

The main circuit board that connects all hardware components in a computer.

Standard sizes of motherboards like ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX.

Housings where the CPU connects to the motherboard, specific to CPU type.

Slots on the motherboard for installing RAM modules, which are volatile memory.

Memory type that loses stored data when power is lost, like RAM.

Designed to draw cool air across the motherboard and expel warm air.

Provides controllers for CPU interface with memory and components; manages video, audio, Ethernet, and wireless functions.

False. The system clock controls timing; the Real Time Clock keeps date and time.

Type of socket used to install system memory in PCs.

Yes, you can install an x8 PCIe card in a x16 slot; known as up-plugging.

8 GBps in each direction (full duplex); supports 500 MBps per lane.

Identify different motherboard types through visible characteristics.

Keeps track of calendar date and time, not signal timing.

A USB version capable of 20 Gbps speed via USB-C.

A 4-pin connector used for connecting hosts.

A 4-pin connector connecting devices, like printers.

A versatile connector for both host and device connections.

Supports 20 Gbps speed with Mini DisplayPort connector.
