How many fans does the CPU header on a motherboard have?
4 pins
How many pins does the CPU fan header on a current motherboard have?
it depends on the cpu. I program microcontrollers that have as few as 8 pins, cpu's on motherboards have many more as they are required to interface with external devices such as memory busses. usually in excess of 200. more modern processors don't have pins, they have contact points which meet contact points on the mainboard. pins are a relative point of discussion but not necessarily factual.
Are there gold in cpu's?
Yes. The pins that connect the CPU to the motherboard are made of gold.
What CPU technology places the pins on the motherboard instead of the chips?
LGA
Motherboard is present in CPU or CPU is present in motherboard?
A CPU is a small square chip that is secured to the motherboard.
What is the difference between PGA and LGA?
LGA : Land Grid Array <== pins are in the socket, no pins are attached on the CPU, only pads. PGA: Pin Grid Array <== pins are attached on to the socket, the socket has some sort of "holes" that hold the processor
Is motherboard is a part of CPU?
yes motherboard is a part of CPU
Do you have to remove your motherboard to upgrade your CPU?
Your motherboard may need to be changed when your CPU is upgraded.
Where is the CPU fan located there are two fans need to know which one to replace when computer says CPU fan not working?
This message is generated by your motherboard's BIOS. The alert is referring to your CPU Cooler's fan which is located towards the top of your motherboard. There could be a smaller fan located in the middle section of your motherboard but that is your Northbridge chipset. It’s also possible someone has plugged in a case fan into your CPU fan header (the power plug for your CPU fan) so be sure to check your case fans as well.
Where on the CPU does the AT motherboard sits on of the expansion slots?
On an AT motherboard, the CPU will be placed in front of the expansion slots
Which of the CPU technology places the pins on the motherboard instead of the chip?
LGA Sockets, most often used by Intel place the CPU Pins in the motherboard instead of on the CPU. For your viewing pleasure: PGA Sockets place the pins on the CPU BGA Sockets solder the CPU to the motherboard, and use rounded beads instead of obvious pins Slot Sockets look and behave in a manner similar to PCI, and have card slot arrays instead of individual pins DIP Sockets place the pins only on the outer edges of the chip. These are old and crude. PLCC Sockets have metal fins on all four sides, with a small chip that fits inside. This chip has receiving points that are flat against the chip, giving them an appearance similar to that of a game cartridge. (Some New BIOS chips still use this. Little chip nested inside of a brown plastic square) Think thats about it, though I'm sure there's a socket type I missed somewhere!
Where is a central processing unit found in a computer?
The CPU, or Processor is found in the CPU socket on a motherboard.
