Mastering Computer Building

What is the primary function of the CPU in a computer?

• To provide internet connectivity to the computer.

• To store data permanently in the hard drive.

• The primary function of the CPU is to execute instructions and process data.

• To manage the computer's power supply.

Which component is responsible for storing data temporarily while the computer is running?

• Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

• Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

• Random Access Memory (RAM)

• Solid State Drive (SSD)

What does RAM stand for?

• Read Access Memory

• Rapid Access Memory

• Random Access Memory

• Random Access Module

What is the purpose of a motherboard in a computer system?

• The purpose of a motherboard in a computer system is to connect and allow communication between all hardware components.

• To store data permanently in the computer.

• To manage the operating system's software updates.

• To provide power to the CPU only.

Which type of storage is faster: SSD or HDD?

• USB Drive

What is the function of a power supply unit (PSU)?

• To store data for the computer.

• To manage the software applications on the computer.

• To cool down the computer components.

• The function of a power supply unit (PSU) is to convert and supply electrical power to computer components.

What does GPU stand for and what is its role?

• Graphics Processing Unit

• Graphical Performance Unit

What is the difference between a 32-bit and a 64-bit processor?

• A 32-bit processor can run 64-bit applications without any limitations.

• A 32-bit processor can access up to 4 GB of RAM, while a 64-bit processor can access significantly more memory, theoretically up to 16 exabytes.

• A 32-bit processor can access up to 8 GB of RAM, while a 64-bit processor can access up to 32 GB.

• A 32-bit processor is faster than a 64-bit processor in all applications.

What is the purpose of thermal paste in a computer build?

• To act as a lubricant for moving parts.

• To improve heat transfer between the CPU and heatsink.

• To cool down the CPU directly.

• To increase the CPU's clock speed.

What are the advantages of using liquid cooling over air cooling?

• Liquid cooling is less expensive than air cooling.

• Air cooling is more efficient in high-performance scenarios.

• Liquid cooling offers better heat dissipation, quieter operation, and support for higher performance components compared to air cooling.

• Liquid cooling requires less maintenance than air cooling.
