In computing, the motherboard is the main circuit in your computer. It houses all of your computer's hardware components and creates a bridge for them to be connected.
the sandy bridge chipset uses a single chipset housing
Ten components on a motherboard are... CPU Socket RAM Slots North Bridge South Bridge PCI Slots (PCI, PCIe) Built on Video Chip Set Built on Sound Card IDE Slot (Hard Drive) SATA Slot (Hard Drive) USB Ports Ethernet Port(s) Thats 11 things that would be considered components on any motherboard.
I am assuming you mean North Bridge\ South bridge North Bridge is the Memory Controller, that transfers data and instructions between the CPU ,RAM and PCIe Devices. South Bridge is the Storage Controller that controls how data is transferred onto Storage Devices(Hard drives)
There are several types of computer socket motherboards. The CPU socket consist of socket 478, 370 and socket A. The sockets used determine the type of processor your computer contains inside. When choosing a socket motherboard, you have to consider the chip set. The chip set contains the north bridge and the south bridge. They connect the CPU to the IO system of the computer. The north bridge is responsible for connecting the computer's memory. The south bridge connects the audio and the drives in the computer. The memory in the motherboard is an essential part of the computer. The RAM determines the speed of your system. The graphics card deals with images. Choosing a motherboard for your computer determines many processes.
it gets hot because it is constantly working and the high speed memory usage makes it hot.
