What's in the Box - The Motherboard

A computer is a fairly complicated device containing lots of different parts. This month I am going to take a look at one of the parts that you will find inside of your computer case and give you some idea of what its various components do. Armed with this knowledge you will have a better idea of what you are looking at when next you go to buy a computer.

The most complicated part of the computer is the flat circuit board (called the motherboard) into which most of the other devices within the computer are plugged. We'll start by considering what components are found on the motherboard and what part that they play in the operation of your computer.

There are a number of processing chips that are hard wired onto your motherboard. One of these is the BIOS chip (basic input output system) which contains the permanent memory that contains the instructions that tell your computer how to start up and load the operating system. The information contained within the BIOS chip can be updated to correctly reflect the setup of your computer by running a special program contained within the chip when you first start the computer. This program is accessed by pressing a special key combination (usually just the delete key) just after the computer first starts up. Some motherboards have a second BIOS chip to provide additional protection against the content of the BIOS memory getting corrupted. Most modern BIOS chips also allow you to change the programs stored in the chip by running a special program. This is known as flashing the BIOS.

One chip on the motherboard needs to run constantly even when your computer is off. For this reason this chip is powered by a battery that you will also find on the motherboard. This chip is the RTC chip (real time clock) which keeps track of the current date and time.

The two biggest chips that you will find hard wired to your motherboard are known as the north bridge and south bridge chips. The north bridge chip is responsibe for controlling the central processing unit and all of the random access memory that are plugged into your motherboard. The south bridge chip controls most of the other devices on the motherboard such as the PCI bus which has most of the peripheral devices either built into the board and hence permanently connected or which can be plugged into the various "slots" that can be found along the back edge of the motherboard. Computer motherboard manufacturers have recently been working on redesigning the method that these two chips use to communicate with one another as the increasing speed of the many other components within the system mean that this has rapidly approached the point of becoming the bottleneck in communications within your computer. It is these two chips which between them control the communications between all of the other components in your system.

These days there are usually a number of computer sub-systems built into the motherboard which in the early computers had to be plugged in separately. In the earliest computers even the RTC chip had to be installed via a plug in card. Today the EIDE hard disk controller, the floppy drive controller, serial port controller, parallel port controller, and USB port (universal serial port) controllers are almost always built into the motherboard and run off of the PCI bus that is controlled by the south bridge chip. Some computers even have integrated sound or networking and while this adds to the expense of the motherboard and makes upgrading more difficult this may be the ideal solution for a cheap business system. Other controllers are also occasionally integrated into motherboards eg. SCSI controller.

Also to be found on the motherboard are a number of sockets and slots that allow you to plug other components into the motherboard in order to convert it into a complete computer. Attached to the north bridge are the processor slot or socket where the CPU chip is plugged in as well as the memory sockets where the main memory gets plugged in. The design of these sockets (as well as the programming incorporated into the various chips on the motherboard) will determine the type and speed of the processor and memory that can be used with this motherboard.

Attached to the south bridge are the main slots along the back of the computer where the various other devices get plugged in. In early computers these slots consisted mostly (or entirely) of 8 bit or 16 bit ISA slots with perhaps one slot extended to the VESA standard to take the graphics card. Some 386 computers through early pentium systems also had a 32 bit version of the ISA slot called an EISA slot. More modern computers use PCI slots (mostly the 32 bit variety but a longer 64 bit version also exists). They may also have a single AGP slot that is designed to take the graphics card. Finally there will be a number of sockets on the motherboard providing the means whereby the integrated controllers previously mentioned can communicate with their associated devices.

As you can see from the above, the motherboards that you find in different computers can vary quite significantly from one another in terms of the options supplied on the board, the slots available to plug other components into the board, and even in the means and speed at which the various components on the board communicate with one another. The choice of which motherboard that will be used in a given computer can dramatically effect the speed of the computer as well as determining what other parts can be incorporated into the computer.

Computer Components - The Motherboard Explained

The term "motherboard" or "mainboard" refers to the most important component found inside a personal computer or PC. It is a large circuit board mounted to one side or bottom of the computer case depending on the type of PC. Even laptops contain a motherboard but these are designed specifically for the laptop in which they are fitted. There are several types of motherboard and they are categorized by the type of case they fit into also known as the form factor. ATX and mATX or micro ATX are the two most common types installed in most modern PCs.

The motherboard's role is to allow everything to communicate with each other. The circuit board contains a number of ports or connectors allowing the various internal components within the computer to communicate with the processor, memory etc. All of these connectors have a role and allow various components and devices to be fitted or installed internally or externally.

In the rest of this article I will explain the function of each of these ports or connectors and the devices that may be connected to them.

CPU or Processor Socket

The CPU socket is rather self explanatory as it holds the CPU. There are various types of processor available and each is designed to fit a certain CPU socket type. The socket is designed so that the processor can only be fitted one way. This is usually determined by a series of notches cut out of the edges of the CPU. These notches will match the CPU socket for correct installation of the processor. The motherboard CPU socket usually contains a mechanism or latch to firmly lock the processor securely into the socket.

Memory Slots

Again the memory slots are just that. They hold the computer memory in place. Motherboards can have a varying amount of memory slots fitted to them. In most home PCs there are two, three or four slots. As with the CPU socket, the memory slots are designed to hold specific types of memory. The slots have a number of raised points designed to correspond with the correct type of memory module, they also help to determine the orientation of the memory when installed. At each end of the slot a small latch device can be found. These latches are opened before installing the memory module and lock it in place as the module is inserted into the slot.

SATA Connectors

These connectors allow devices such as hard disk drives and CD/DVD drives to be installed in the computer. The amount of these connectors varies depending on the motherboard. The connector can be recognised by the small L-shaped receptacle which prevents improper fitting of the SATA cables.

IDE/PATA Connectors

These are the older type of connection for hard disk drives and CD/DVD drives. Older motherboards may have two of these connectors, a primary and secondary. An IDE cable would be used to connect up to two devices to each connector. The connector has two rows of pins and a notch cut out of one side enabling easy fitting of the cables ensuring that they are correctly fitted. Modern motherboards may only have one IDE connector fitted to allow either an older hard disk or CD/DVD drive to be installed.

AGP Graphics Slot

This is a brown coloured slot used to fit the older AGP graphics cards. On some motherboards this would have a small latch at one end to securely hold the graphics card in place.

PCI, PCI-E Expansion Card Slots

These are usually white in colour and the number can vary dependant on the motherboard. The older PCI has now been replaced by the PCI-E or PCI Express standard. They allow expansion cards such as sound, network or multimedia cards to be installed allowing easy expansion of the computers functionality. Fitting a card simply involves pushing the expansion card into the slot when the computer is powered off.

Motherboard Header Connectors

The motherboard contains a series of small connectors in various locations around the board. They usually consist of a number of raised pins. These header connectors have a variety of uses. Some allow USB ports located on the case to be connected, others are for connecting the front panel audio connections such as headphone and microphone sockets housed on the computer case. Connecting to these headers can be awkward and consultation of a motherboard manual is usually required.

External Ports

On the rear facing edge of the motherboard there are a number of ports that are visible on the rear of the PC. These may vary depending on the age of the board. The common ports are PS2 which are coloured purple for connecting a keyboard, green for connecting a mouse. There may also be a red parallel printer port although these are rarely found on modern boards. Another port which is less common on modern boards is the turquoise serial connectors that are used to connect a variety of devices such as old moderns, bar code scanners etc. Some motherboards may have a network or RJ45 port used for connecting the computer to a network but this is not always present. USB and Audio connection ports are also located on the rear of the board allowing external USB devices and speaker systems or microphones to be connected to the PC.

As we can see above the motherboard is the centre piece when it comes to connecting all the various computer components inside and outside of the PC. So how does the motherboard control all these devices and allow them to communicate successfully?

On the motherboard there is sometimes one or two micro-chips which control the motherboard functions. They are sometimes known as the chipset but the correct names are "Northbridge" and "Southbridge" chipsets. Each has a specific role for controlling various communication functions between the various components connected to the motherboard.

Ultimate Motherboard Guide - Demystifying Motherboard Specs

A motherboard can be thought of as the foundation for any computer system. It is the largest component in your computer and provides pathways for all other devices, internal and external, to communicate with each other. Therefore, it is vital that you spend some time researching for a good quality motherboard.

Main motherboard specifications

Before you run out looking for a motherboard, it's best to know a little about the components that make up the motherboard.

Chipset

There are two main chipsets on a motherboard, the Northbridge and Southbridge controller. The Northbridge handles communications with high speed components such as the CPU, Memory, and graphics card. Conversely, the Southbridge handles communication from low speed devices such as I/O ports, hard drives, on-board audio and BIOS.

Motherboards are designed around these two chips, the Northbridge dictates what kind of CPU's and memory types are supported, whereas the Southbridge dictates things like the number of built in USB ports and whether or not the board comes with integrated audio, video, RAID, LAN, etc...

CPU

The CPU is inserted directly into a socket on the motherboard and is responsible for processing instructions. The types of CPU supported by a motherboard depend on the Northbridge controller chip.

Expansion Slots

The expansion slots on the motherboard allow you to connect external components, such as graphic cards, sound cards, RAID controllers, and other various add-on components. The slots come in varying speeds and some are intended for high speed components only, such as the PCI-E x16 and AGP slots for graphic cards.

Form Factor

Form factor refers to the size and shape of the motherboard i.e. its dimensions. When purchasing a new motherboard you need to be aware of its form factor because certain cases and power supplies only work with certain form factors. The most common form factor is ATX and these days most motherboards are based on the ATX form factor.

Memory

Sticks of memory or RAM are inserted into special memory slots on the motherboard; most motherboards typically have three or four slots. Motherboards typically only support one type of memory e.g. DDR, DDR2, DDR3, Rambus, since the different types have a different number of pins that connect to the slot.

Internal I/O Connectors

These are connections that connect directly to the motherboard from internal components or your computer case. Examples include power connector from power supply, USB, hard drive and fan connections from case, internal SATA connections from hard drives, etc...

Back Panel Connectors

These are the connections that you find on the back of your computer case where you plug in a mouse, keyboard, ethernet, printer, etc... The number and type of connections is dependent on the motherboard you purchase which mostly depends on the Southbridge chipset used in the motherboard.

BIOS

The BIOS is a small chip on your motherboard that initializes and prepares hardware on boot, so software can communicate with it. If the BIOS cannot initialize a hardware device it will send a special sequence of beeps to your computers' internal speaker that tells you which device is not installed or configured correctly.

Most, if not all BIOS's can be updated via special program from your motherboard manufacturer. The reason to update the BIOS is to fix hardware compatibility bugs, or to enable support for newer hardware, such as newer CPU's based on the same or very similar architecture. If everything in your system is working fine, do not update your BIOS, you don't want to chance an error occurring during a flash and the resulting hassle of fixing it.

Some Special/Unique Features

Ultra Durable

Some motherboards use newer solid-state capacitors that are less likely to leak or become defective. This is a relatively new feature and is nice to have if you can find it.

Advanced Cooling

Some motherboards add extra heat sinks to certain chips on the motherboard as well as a heat pipe for the north bridge; this allows the motherboard to run a bit cooler and is useful if you want to heavily over-clock your system.

Over-clocking enhanced

The motherboard, through the BIOS or a Windows application, provides fine-tune tweaking in regards to over-clocking. This type of feature isn't essential for over-clocking, most motherboards' BIOS provide some fundamental options that are used for over-clocking; this feature just provides more convenience and options to do so.

Dual Channel Memory

This feature allows you to install a pair of memory sticks in specially marked memory slots. This allows twice as much data to be sent from the memory to the memory controller, so it gets executed by the CPU faster. This feature will not double your speed, but may provide performance improvements with certain applications and hardware configurations, so keep an eye out for it. Also, this feature isn't dependent on the memory sticks themselves, just get a pair of the same memory and it should work in the motherboard.

Example of a motherboard specs

To get yourself familiar with looking at motherboard specs, go through the spec sheet of the Gigabyte DS3L motherboard.

How to pick out a motherboard?

Now that you have an idea of what constitutes a motherboard, you're almost ready to start looking for one. Today you can buy motherboards for under or around a $100 that are top notch, the catch is these boards usually don't come with features like on-board RAID, advanced cooling, dual PCI-E x16, etc..., but for most people these features will never get used, so save your money and opt for boards without them, unless you know you are going to use them.

Try to find motherboards that come with some on-board functionality such as on-board audio, USB ports, on-board LAN and SATA connections. Most boards, even the cheapest should have these features by now. Once you have an idea of what you need on your motherboard, just search around and make a list of some candidates. Once you have it narrowed down it is important that you do some pre-emptive problem finding. Your goal is to know the motherboard and all major issues with it before you buy it, you don't want to wait until you get slapped in the face with some major issue. An easy way of finding problems related to a motherboard is reading through negative comments and just using Google or whatever search engine to conduct searches like this "Gigabyte DS3L problems".

Motherboard Repair

A question that regularly crops up on the internet is that of how to repair Motherboards. The types of questions generated on the various forums and e-mails indicate that the problems arise in computers of all leading brands and also unbranded ones. There are innumerable methods of repair suggested on the internet. Most of the repairs of bad motherboards follow the method of trial and error and are not very reliable in terms of results. The decision to repair a motherboard is not for the week at heart. It can be time consuming and risky. It can take considerable time and, due to the fragile parts, you could break something. If you bend a motherboard to much it can crack or break making it useless.

Computers show the effects of usage by how slow they work. One cause is the amount of dust that collects on the motherboard. This dust affects the working of the motherboard and can make them overheat and fail. One step to motherboard repair is to remove the dust. This can be done by using a small vacuum cleaner or canned air to remove the dust as much as possible.

With motherboard problems It is very important to know the components that make up the motherboard before ever venturing to repair a bad motherboard. The motherboard is the main board that contains the central circuit board of the computer. All other components and peripherals are plugged in or connected to the motherboard. One of the main functions of the motherboard is to relay information between them. The motherboard houses the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) which is simple software run by the computer designed to function when the computer is switched on.

To repair motherboards you should know that Chipsets in the motherboard are those that form an interface between two main parts of the computer, the front side bus and the peripheral buses or the main memory. There are some memory chips that are extremely non volatile and it contains the firmware of the system or what is popularly known as the BIOS. Motherboards also contain a clock generator which is responsible to produce the system clock signal that can help in synchronizing various components. The cause of a bad motherboard could be in any of the components. It is best that the job is assigned to an experienced and technically qualified person or a reputable dealer or the manufacturer of the board.

It is mostly better if you replace the bad motherboard with a new one. It is extremely expensive to repair an old motherboard. You should compare the price of repair to the purchase of a new computer.

How to Select the Best Motherboard For Your Computer

While it's relatively easy with today's technology to build your own computer; selecting the best motherboard is critical to building the computer that best fits your own unique needs. 

Building your own computer can mean saving money and also building a custom specified system - it means getting exactly what you want.  All computer components are important (the computer can't run without them) but the motherboard is a very important part of your computer system and you need to have a clear understanding of what you want, why you want it, and how what you've selected affects the operation of the computer once built. You need to know how to select the best motherboard for your computer.  All components in your computer system connect to the motherboard; it is the key component and therefore you need to understand it.  For the purposes of this article, we'll assume that you are building your own computer rather than replacing the motherboard in an existing computer system.  But in either case, learning what to look for and how the motherboard affects the performance of your computer is important.

First, consider which CPU you will be using.  For example, Intel and AMD CPUs both use different motherboards because each uses a different socket type.  Then, you also need to understand the processor speed; your motherboard needs to support the selected CPU. With the rapid technology changes in today's environment, there are a wide variety of socket types in use.  Processors used to have the same number of pins, with technology driving fast changes, the motherboards sockets need more pins to provide more power and support new features. New processors are starting to put the pins on the socket instead of the CPU, allowing for easier set-up. You must match the right CPU (and socket type) to the right motherboard.  The CPU needs the socket to communicate with motherboard components through the chipset.

The CPU drives the decision on which chipset to buy and use.  A fast chipset allows efficient data transfers and power management; the chipset controls all the communication between CPU, the memory, and the local bus. There are two major parts of the chipset: the northbridge and the southbridge. The CPU communicates through the northbridge with the system RAM (the AGP graphics card) or the PCI-E (graphics card).  The CPU also uses the northbridge to communicate with the southbridge.  The northbridge is closer to the CPU and faster; the southbridge is further from the CPU and slower. The communications to USB ports, PCI slots, SATA connections, and other components is handled by the southbridge.

The bus is a circuit through which data is transmitted; it connects parts of the motherboard. Bus size is important because size, or width, determines how much data can be transmitted. Bus speed, measured in MHz, is relevant when selecting a motherboard.  Speed determines the components communication speed and data transfer; therefore a fast bus speed allows fast data transfer and faster running applications.

The circuit connecting the CPU to the northbridge is the Front Side Bus (FSB).  The top end of FSB speed is 1666 MHz - the higher, the faster and, typically, the more expensive. Speed is evolving and being upgraded with new technology, not just because faster is better but to synchronize with demand for speed from upgraded and new applications. As with most equipment and technology, the slowest component will be a speed bottleneck for the whole operating system - with a slow FSB speed, your computer will also operate at slow speed.

When selecting your motherboard you need to consider memory and how much memory you want for your computer system.  Unless you are a gamer, or do a lot of graphics or video work, 2 GB of RAM should be enough. Most motherboards today come with at least two memory slots, and many come with four.  To ensure you have enough expandable memory capacity for the future (even if you start with 2 GB of RAM), buy a motherboard with 4 slots.

Other considerations when selecting the motherboard for your computer build are the peripherals, such as keyboard, mouse, printer, flash drive, external drive and digital camera. If you plan on adding additional cards (such as graphics card, wireless network card, sound card), you will need enough PCI slots to handle the peripherals. Most motherboards have four USB slots and two more that connect to the USB ports on the case. You also need to consider the battery (you'll likely need to change the battery in your motherboard every four to 5 years - if you keep your computer that long) and the preloaded BIOS (which boots up your computer).

People who have not yet built their own computers are often concerned that they will not be able to build the system they want, accurately, efficiently and cost effectively.  However, the best way to learn, to save money, and to get a custom built system, is to just build it!

How to Choose the Best Motherboard For Your Computer System

The computer motherboard is a key internal part of a computer system. If the CPU or processor is considered as the computers brain then the motherboard can be thought of as the heart of the computer. Although the motherboard does not boost the speed of a computer, it plays a pivotal role for the overall functionality and features of a computer system. It can at times be a really daunting task to choose the best motherboard for your computer. For getting the best output from a motherboard you should follow some of the below strategies that will help you to find out the best motherboard for your computer.

Try to find out as much as you can about the brand name or manufacturer name while choosing a motherboard. A motherboard from a well known company gives many added features like a good warranty or product quality, so try to get a motherboard from well known and reputable company. You must also make sure about the availability of technical support from the manufacturer so when you need it, it is then available. Tech support is crucial here as it is needed during troubleshooting. Among the manufacturers to consider, Tyan, Asus, Intel and Soyo. They are the market leaders and have a positive brand image among consumers.

After brand selection you have to focus on the compatibility of your motherboard with your processor. Different manufacturers provide a variety of processors such as Celeron PPGA, Pentium III, AMD Athlon and AMD K6-3. These processors need specific types of motherboards. The compatibility of the motherboard with a particular processor is the most important factor to consider.

Advanced graphics port or AGP is an appealing feature for the gamer and users who are interested in graphic design. AGP allows quicker communication between the video card and the computer thus increasing the frame rate of graphics programs and video games. So if you are a gamer or have enthusiasm about graphics design, you should choose a motherboard with higher AGP performance.

The number of PCI slots in a motherboard are an important criteria to consider when choosing a good motherboard. Plenty of PCI slots allows for the attachment of ethernet cards, sound cards or modems and for future expansion. The more PCI slots that exist in the motherboard the more ports you will have to connect such devices. Also do consider the number of USB ports on the motherboard as these are also needed to connect with modems, mice and with other devices. For video capturing and editing, you should also have a firewire port. So make sure you have a firewire port if you are interested in video capturing or editing.

While choosing your chipset, you should bear in mind the memory type that is compatible with your selected motherboard. Compatibility of the motherboard with high performance RAM is also important. For getting better performance always choose the motherboard that is compatible with all the components of the computer.

Before purchasing a motherboard you must make sure all important features are reviewed that you need. You can browse the motherboards manufacturer's website to get all the important information related to what you will need. You can download the manual from the manufacturer's website and compare the features on various motherboards. So do consider everything covered above and make sure you get the all the information you need to end up with the best motherboard for your computer system needs.

Useful Tips To Choose The Best Gaming Motherboard

Motherboard is the heart of the whole computer system. It is the part that connects all the other parts together and make sure they run smoothly. As such, choosing the best gaming motherboard is the most important task that you need to do when building a gaming computer. This article will teach you how to choose the best gaming motherboard.

Decide which type of CPU to use

This may seem irrelevant to choosing a motherboard. In actual fact, this is the most important thing you need to do before selecting a motherboard. The reason being that the type of CPU will determine the type of motherboard you need. For example, if you choose an Intel CPU, then you have to get the socket 775 motherboard or else the CPU won't fit into the motherboard. Deciding on the type of CPU will help you to make a better choice when choosing the best gaming motherboard.

Determine if the motherboard supports the type of CPU you have chosen

As mentioned before, if you are using an Intel CPU, you have to get a socket 775 motherboard whereas an AMD CPU requires a socket AM2 motherboard. In addition, some of the older socket 775 motherboards do not support dual core processors (even though they use the same socket) or even quad-core processors. Check out the manufacturer's website to get confirmation before you buy the motherboard.

Overclocking feature

If you are overclocking your CPU, you have to get a motherboard that allows you to change the FSB speed and CPU voltage in small increments.

RAM support and no of memory slot

Your motherboard must be able to support DDR2 RAM, for a simple reason that DDR2 is currently the fastest RAM in the market. Extra thing to take note is the maximum speed of RAM that the motherboard supports. Some motherboards can support only up to DDR2 667MHz RAM while the latest ones can support up to DDR2 1066MHz.

In addition, you may want to upgrade your RAM in the future, therefore your current motherboard must have at least 4 memory slots and can support up to 8GB RAM so that you have the option to upgrade in the future.

SLI/ Crossfire ready

SLI / Crossfire ready motherboard means that you can make use of two identical high performing graphics card to render the graphics, thus achieving a faster and more realistic video effects. Not every motherboard supports this feature. As video effects getting more and more advanced, it will be soon that SLI or Crossfire technology becomes the standard for video display. Therefore, even if you are not using this technology now, it is still advisable to get a gaming motherboard with SLI or Crossfire feature.

SATA 2 controller

SATA2 can transfer data at twice the speed of SATA 1. When it comes to gaming, every single speed counts and that increase in speed might be the deciding factor in your game. A SATA 2 port is backward compatible with SATA 1 devices, but not the other way round. It is better for you to get a motherboard that supports SATA 2 devices. In addition, if you are using RAID, then you have to get a motherboard that has four SATA 2 ports.

Extra Features

You might want to consider extra features such as extra USB2.0 ports, firewire, integrated LAN and front-panel LED when choosing a gaming motherboard. Some of the motherboards contain more features than the other and you have to compare around to see the differences.

Features such as integrated sound and video are not as important in the best gaming motherboard since they could not contribute well to a good gaming session. For a gaming computer, you have to get a separate graphics card and sound card so as to play the latest game in the market.

Conclusion

When getting the best gaming motherboard, it is worthwhile to do some market research and compare with various boards. Since it is the most important part in the whole computer system, don't ever scrimp money on it.
