  2. Synergy One of the first things to know about computer hardware ,before building a computer or having a computer built, Or in just understanding a computer better in general is that each piece of hardware should work together like clockwork. Understand that it is possible to bottleneck your CPUs performance based on GPU choice and likewise, being able to bottleneck your GPU’s performance based on processor performance. The same can also be said with RAM. Thermal Dynamics is something not often taken into consideration by most when putting together a computer, or when deciphering why a computer might be malfunctioning.(Malfunctions depending on the type can be caused by overheating) Notes Bottlenecking- Refers to the act of one piece of hardware limiting another’s performance under load. CPU- Central Processing unit(Processor). Your main two brands Being Intel and AMD GPU-Graphic Processing unit.(Simply known as Graphics card),Note that some Graphics cards support multiple GPU’s.(Main two brands still being Intel and AMD under the labels Nvidia and ATI)

  3. The CPU • The Central Processing unit (CPU) is the main brain of the computer and over the years we have seen massive leaps in CPU speeds. • The earliest CPU’s that pioneered the way for the x86 architecture were released in 1978 started as 16 bit and started as just single core units. • Most CPU’s today operate on the same x86 architecture and consist of quad or hexa-cores running on 64bit. • The next slide will show a simple comparison of the progression of CPU technology over the years.

  4. CPU Comparison

  5. Graphics Cards. • The top competing graphics card companies are ATI technologies and Nvidia. The display properties of most games today depends on a mix of your graphics card and CPU’s performance. • The graphics card can also determine what signal is used to connect your display or monitor to your tower/laptop. • The most commonly used input used to connect displays before HDMI was introduced, was VGA • VGA was introduced in 1987 and is capable of resolutions of 2048 x 1536 at 85hz • The most commonly used format today, HDMI is capable of 4096x2160 at 24hz or 2560x1600@75

  6. Commonly used Connections

  7. Synergy • Depending on the type of work or programs you are doing with your computer it is important to remember that all of your hardware be able to perform well together under stress. • An example of bottlenecking would be, running a game that your processor is clearly capable of, but however due to graphical detail in game or drivers required, Your video card is not up to the task. • This would essentially mean that your graphics cards’ weak performance under load would be bottlenecking your CPUs’ performance.

  8. Thermal Dynamics • Something else that can cause weak performance under load are high temperatures. • There are generally two types of cooling available for computer hardware, Your classic fans and liquid cooling.

  9. Liquid Cooling • Liquid cooling is a way of cooling your computer that is relatively new and lately starting to pickup in popularity. • Liquid cooling relates to a reservoir and a series of tubes that carry a liquid to a thermal plate attached to generally a CPU or GPU on a graphics card. • The reservoir usually contains an amount of liquid, sometimes water that is cooled using a mixture of heat-sinks and fans and a return and out line sending cooled liquid through the tubes and accepting the heated fluid to the reservoir.

  10. Example of liquid cooling

  11. Air cooling(Fans) • The classic and most common way of keeping a tower at a lower temperature is using a mixture of fans and thermal dynamics to assure the best airflow in the case. • The most common combination is Intake fans on the front of the case and side(Opposite MOBO) and exhaust fans at the rear and top of the case. • This is the most accepted combination based on the general layout of tower internals and the fact that heat rises. • A drawback of using air cooling is that its really only effective if the temperature of the room is at a lower temperature than in case, and even then its performance is questionable.

  12. Example of proper Air Cooling.

  13. Combination and Complete Submersion. • A good way to maintain a stable temperature for computer hardware under load is to use a mixture of liquid and air cooling. • Another newer design is complete submersion of computer components in mineral oil. This causes no damage to components because mineral oil is nonconductive. • However currently complete submersion in mineral oil is not an effective way of cooling a pc based on mineral oils property to hold heat.
