Computer CPU Components and Their Functions
CPU (Central Processing Unit) is a
parent or data processing center from a computer device. While inside the CPU
unit, there are several components that are connected to each other.
1. CPU case
CPU casing is usually
made of plastic and some are also made of iron, stainless, and so on. This
the casing is useful to protect various components contained in the CPU, of course
to protect more from dust, heat, water, or other things that are feared to interfere
with the CPU's performance itself.
In addition, the casing
also functions as a place for us to place and install various components such
as motherboards, power supplies, optical disc drives, hard disks, and many
others.
2. Motherboard
This motherboard is a
circuit board where various electronic components and other computers are
installed and can be connected to one another. The components that become the
a core part of this motherboard are processors, sound cards, video cards, hard
disks, and so on.
The motherboard also
functions as a connecting medium for each component of the computer in order to
communicate with other computer components.
In addition, each
motherboard has a different specification reference. For example, what
processor specifications can be embedded and supported by the motherboard. And
how much the maximum RAM capacity is supported by the motherboard.
This means that not all
CPU motherboards are the same. As well as not being able to arbitrarily install
every component on the motherboard CPU. Because, if it is not supported,
chances are that the component will not be read on your computer.
3. Processor
The processor is one of
the core components contained in the computer CPU. Because, if there is no
processor, the computer device cannot work at all. Therefore, many say that the
processor is the brain of a computer. All processes and commands will be done
on the processor even though still with the help of other components. So that
way, the higher the speed of a processor, the faster the computer will process
various kinds of data. But keep in mind, the performance is also very dependent
on the help of RAM and a large hard drive.
4. Heatsink
Heatsink / Fan Processor
is a device that is employed to help the performance of a processor. Heatsink
functions as a cooler and keeps the processor temperature cool and stable. This
is so that our computer processor device is not fast overhead or damaged.
5. RAM
RAM (Random Access
Memory) is one component contained in the CPU unit. RAM also has an important
position for computer devices. Because the components of this one work as a
place to hold temporary data that has been processed by the processor before
continuing to other components.
RAM can also be replaced
with a larger or smaller capacity size, but this must also be according to the
maximum RAM supported on your motherboard. No matter how much your RAM memory
capacity is, but if it is not supported by the motherboard, then you can be
sure that it cannot be read by a computer device.
Apart from that, RAM
units usually use byte calculations. And the capacity of RAM on the market
usually has the following capacity:
256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB,
4GB, 8GB, 16GB, and others
The types of memory that
are still produced today are:
a) DDR-1
b) DDR-2
c) DDR-3
d) DDR-4
6. HarddiskHDD
Just like an SD card in a
smartphone, the hard drive also serves to store various data and also store
various operating systems from a computer device itself. Hard drives usually
use byte calculations. And the bigger the hard drive capacity, the more
conventional data you can save.
Size of capacity Hard
drives circulating in the market usually vary, ranging from 250 GB, 500 GB, 1
TB, to 2 TB.
7. CD / DVD Room
CD / DVD ROOM or also
what can be called an optical disk drive is a device that can be used to write
and read cassettes or CD / DVD discs. In addition, CD / DVD ROOM can also be
used to burn or copy CDs using various software such as Nero, Infra Recorder,
Power Iso and so on.
Apart from that, the
formats included in the CD / DVD ROOM are CD-ROOM drives, CD-RW drives,
DVD-ROOM drives, and DVD-RW drives.
8. VGA Card
VGA (Video Graphic
Adapter) is one component that is considered very important for a computer
device. Because this one component functions as a graphics data processor
before being displayed to the monitor. Without VGA, the computer screen can
certainly not display anything, aka blank.
Besides that, VGA is also
very important to determine the quality of images displayed on a computer
monitor.
9. Sound Card
This one device functions
more as an audio processor for your computer device. Sound cards also function
as audio processors, which can convert analog signals or digital signals that
enter the card input and produce audio or sound on your computer system.
Sound Card and has a
function to control all audio contained in computer devices. Without this
device, you can be sure your computer will not sound.
10. Power Supply
The last component that
we will discuss is Power Supply, which is part of a computer system and CPU
a unit that functions as a power divider (source of electric current) in each
computer component. In addition, the Power Supply also functions to change the
DC voltage into AC before being streamed to each component of the computer
itself.
The power supply has a
different power voltage of 300 watts, 380 watts, 400 watts, 450 watts, 500
watts, 600 watts, and so on.
