Heat sink
A chipset typically appears as a series of integrated circuits (ICs) on a motherboard, often encased in rectangular or square packages. These chips are usually mounted on the board and can vary in color, typically black or gray, with metal heat spreaders or thermal paste for cooling. The chipset's layout includes various pins or contacts on the underside, which connect it to the motherboard's circuitry, facilitating communication between the CPU, RAM, and other components. Overall, it is a compact, complex assembly that plays a crucial role in the functionality of a computer.
The Northbridge chipset is the processor of the computer, this is known as the brain of the computer. The 770 Northbridge chipset is conception of ATI for AMD.

Chipset refers to integrated circuits that perform specific functions. Usually, chipset is used when referring to functions performed for the CPU, but there are other kinds of chipsets. Housing the chipset is arguably the most important function of a motherboard.
The Nehalem chipset family typically uses a single chipset housing on the motherboard. This housing integrates multiple functions, including the memory controller and the PCIe controller, which streamline the design and improve performance. It is designed to support Intel's Core i7 processors and other related architectures.

ATX is a form factor. It does not dictate a specific chipset; anything from the now ancient 440BX to a Q57 can be used in an ATX system.

There are none. One is a battery which is used to provide passive power to the CMOS chipset to keep it from clearing itself.
Chipset drivers are software that enables the operating system to use the features of the corresponding chipset.
The Nehalem chipset connects directly to the processor rather than to the North Bridge.
A condenser is typically used to condense a vapor by cooling it. Condensers work by transferring heat from the vapor to a cooling medium (such as water or air), causing the vapor to return to its liquid state.
