Hardware Lab Components Guide

Give me the info of motherboard identification after disassemble assembled , cpu part , cpu z, bios
closed, ram , hdd etc for my computer hardware lab viva exam

For your hardware lab viva exam, here is a comprehensive guide on identifying and describing the
components of a computer after assembly or disassembly:

1. Motherboard Identification

Model Number and Brand:


Look for the model number and brand name printed on the motherboard (usually near the
CPU socket or RAM slots).
Example: "ASUS PRIME B450M" or "Gigabyte A320M-S2H".
Form Factor:
Common types: ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX.
Chipset Information:
Found on the motherboard box or printed near the chipset heatsink.
Example: "Intel Z790" or "AMD B450".
Ports and Slots:
Check for PCIe slots (for GPUs), SATA ports (for HDD/SSD), and M.2 slots (for NVMe SSDs).
Look for USB, HDMI, Ethernet, and audio ports.

2. CPU (Central Processing Unit)

Brand and Model:


Look for the label on the CPU itself (e.g., "Intel Core i7-12700K" or "AMD Ryzen 5 5600X").
Socket Type:
The CPU must match the motherboard's socket. Examples: LGA1200, AM4, or LGA1700.
Core and Thread Count:
Check specifications using CPU-Z or from the manufacturer’s website.
Example: 6 cores and 12 threads.
Cooling System:
Identify if it’s air-cooled (heatsink and fan) or liquid-cooled.

3. CPU-Z Software

Purpose:
CPU-Z is used to gather detailed information about the CPU, motherboard, RAM, and other
components.
Key Tabs:
CPU Tab: Shows name, code name, technology (nm), clock speeds, core voltage.
Mainboard Tab: Shows motherboard manufacturer, model, BIOS version.
Memory Tab: Shows RAM type, size, frequency, and channel (single/dual).

SPD Tab: Provides module information for each RAM stick.

4. BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)

Access:
Enter BIOS by pressing DEL, F2, or another key during boot.
Functions:
System settings, boot sequence, hardware diagnostics, and overclocking.
Version:
BIOS version is displayed in the system information tab or during boot.
Type:
Legacy BIOS or UEFI.

5. RAM (Random Access Memory)

Type and Generation:


DDR3, DDR4, or DDR5 (printed on the RAM stick).
Capacity:
Usually measured in GB (e.g., 8 GB, 16 GB).
Speed:
Measured in MHz, e.g., 3200 MHz (can be found in CPU-Z or printed on the RAM stick).
Slots Used:
Count the number of installed sticks and their configuration (single/dual-channel).

6. HDD/SSD (Storage Drives)

Type:
HDD (Hard Disk Drive): Bulkier, mechanical storage.
SSD (Solid State Drive): Faster, flash-based storage.
NVMe SSD: Compact, very fast, uses M.2 slots.
Capacity:
Storage size in GB or TB (e.g., 1 TB HDD, 512 GB SSD).
Connection Type:
SATA for HDD/SSD, PCIe for NVMe SSD.
Speed (for SSD):
SATA SSD (~500 MB/s), NVMe SSD (~3500 MB/s).

7. Power Supply Unit (PSU)

Wattage:
Example: 500W, 650W.
Certification:
Look for 80 Plus certification (Bronze, Silver, Gold).

8. Additional Components

GPU (Graphics Processing Unit):

Dedicated GPU or integrated with CPU.
Example: NVIDIA GTX 1660 or Intel UHD Graphics.
CMOS Battery:
Small coin-cell battery powering BIOS settings.
Cooling System:
Fans, liquid cooling systems, or heatsinks.

9. Tools for Verification

Use CPU-Z for detailed specs.


CrystalDiskInfo: For HDD/SSD health.
BIOS Setup Utility: To view hardware details.

Let me know if you need detailed descriptions for any specific part!
