The motherboard doesn't actually produce any of its own power. It acts as a mediator between the power supply which it is connected to and other components. Most parts found inside a tower are powered in this way but certain parts such as the monitor and specific external hard drives plug directly into an outlet. Wireless keyboards and mice are also exceptions being that they have their own batteries.

What are two devices plugged into the motherboard?
All of these are connected to the motherboard:CPUHard DrivesCD/DVD optical disc driveGraphics CardYou can also argue that the power supply is plugged into the motherboard to supply power to it
Does the power supply provide power to a CPU fan or case fan?
yes, the power supply provides power specifically to the motherboard in turn dispersing power to all components plugged into the motherboard, hope this helped :)
What is a motherdboard?
I believe you mean a "motherboard". This common computer hardware connects the central processing unit (CPU) to all of its peripherals (input, output, signaling, and storage devices). It is also responsible for drawing power from the power supply unit (PSU) and distributing it to all of the integrated circuits (ICs) that are attached to it. Permanent and removable media devices typically draw their power directly from the PSU, while the motherboard routes power to USB devices, input devices, CPU, RAM, and the various IC chips and addon modules (such as PCI and ISA buses) that operate from the power matrix that the motherboard supplies.
What are the four devices located under the cover of the system unit?
The four primary devices located under the cover of the system unit are the motherboard, power supply unit, storage devices (such as hard drives or SSDs), and the cooling system (including fans or heat sinks). The motherboard serves as the main circuit board, connecting all components and enabling communication between them. The power supply unit converts electrical power for use by the system, while storage devices provide space for data and programs. The cooling system helps maintain optimal temperatures to prevent overheating of the components.
What was the main function of the motherboard?
Without the mainboard, also called motherboard, your computer would not work... at all. Everything is hooked up to it from RAM to hard drive to CPU. The only hardware component it doesn't control is the power supply, but the power supply is also hooked up to the motherboard.
How to tell if motherboard or processor is bad?
The only true way is to replace the CPU with a working CPU and see if it works. But, if all of your other hardware devices are working then you can bet it is not your motherboard. Another words if you are getting power to your motherboard and all your devices are working, but you are having problems with your CPU then you can bet it's the CPU.
What controls the power to the motherboard?
The most overlooked part of a computer is the power supply. (The second is cooling) The power supply takes AC power from your wall and converts it to DC power and supplies electrical current to your motherboard, CPU, and all other devices. When selecting a computer make sure that the power supply is not only rated for your computer in its present state, but can handle future devices such as additional DVD drives or hard drives. Motherboards also have voltage regulators on them.An under-rated power supply will work harder and produce more heat which will tax the cooling system. Cheap inexpensive power supplies can produce hardware and software problems. Additionally if a power supply fails, it can allow more than desirable amounts of electricity to your components which could result in damage.Lastly, consider an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). Besides providing battery power in case of electrical failure they "clean" the power before it goes to your computer's power supply by eliminating spikes and sags in power.
What are the four 4 parts of all computers?
Motherboard, Power supply unit, Hard drive, Cd/drive.
Your CPU has no power but all peripherals do - what is wrong?
Many/most motherboards have a separate power connector for the CPU. Check your motherboard's installation instructions to locate the CPU power connector. Then connect the matching power supply cable to the CPU power connector on the motherboard.
When a computer is being built which three components must have the same form factor (Choose three.)?
The case, motherboard, and power supply must all be the same form factor. Obviously the motherboard and the case would have to be the same or the motherboard would never fit in the case. Then the power supply must not only fit in the case, but have the same connectors as the motherboard. Otherwise it won't work.
What are the symptoms of a faulty power supply?
PC will not turn on and no LEDs come on at all. Sometimes, though, this can be a motherboard problem as well.
What is the most fun electronic device?
all electronic devices are fun electronic devices when we use them funnly
