Power Specifications – CompTIA A+ 220-901 – 1.8
Computer power systems have their own language and architecture. In this video, you’ll learn about amps, volts, power calculations, current, voltage, power supply sizing, power supply options, and much more.
Computer Power Connectors – CompTIA A+ 220-901 – 1.8
Every device in our computer needs power, and there are many different ways to get the right voltages to the right component. In this video, you’ll learn about SATA power, Molex connectors, ATX 12 volt connectors, EPS 12 V power, PCI Express power interfaces, and the primary motherboard power connectors.
Motherboard Jumpers and Connectors – CompTIA A+ 220-901 – 1.2
The connectivity from the computer case to the motherboard consists of many wires and connectors. In this video, you’ll learn about the motherboard jumpers and connectors.
Motherboard Chipsets – CompTIA A+ 220-901 – 1.2
The chipsets of our modern motherboards have evolved over time, and much of our legacy motherboards is now contained inside of our CPUs. In this video, you’ll learn about the legacy Northbridge and Southbridge, and you’ll learn which components are now part of our modern CPUs.
Motherboard CPU Sockets – CompTIA A+ 220-901 – 1.2
Our motherboards use standard socket types for our CPUs. In this video, you’ll learn about the ZIF/PGA and LGA CPU socket types.
Motherboard RAM Slots – CompTIA A+ 220-901 – 1.2
Your computer system uses a particular size and package of memory, and the size of the RAM slot usually depends on the overall size of the system. In this video, you’ll learn about DIMM, SO-DIMM, and Micro-DIMM RAM slots.
