The Motherboard
A motherboard is the central printed circuit board in a computer. It holds and connects all pieces of hardware in your system.
Different new hardware can always be added to increase efficiency, working capability or extend the features of the machine. The mother board has a very important part called chipset, which determines the ability and working capability of the mother board.
Motherboards are generally air cooled with heat sinks and will crash from overheating if the temperature gets too high. Because of the more and more powerful motherboards being made, many motherboards have a separate CPU and/or GPU fan on their heat sinks that further improve cooling.
