- In this video from ITFreeTraining I will look at picking and installing a motherboard. The motherboard is one of the most important parts of a computer because ultimately it determines what else the computer can support.

Purpose of The Computer
0:12 The first decision you will need to make is what is the purpose of the computer that you will be putting together. Computers can be used for many things; however, they generally fall into three different categories. The first is being used for basic applications like e-mail, internet and office work. These computers, since they don’t require too much performance generally don’t cost too much.
The second category is gaming computers. These computers tend to have higher specifications than the basic computers and also may include a powerful video card. It is possible to purchase a cheap gaming computer, but if you want some good performance, you are going to have to spend more money, particularly for the graphics card.
The last category is workstation or server. These can be cheap or cost a lot of money and generally cost more than your basic computer. The high-power workstation generally has more processing power. This can include things like more memory or specialized memory, additional CPUs and multiple monitors. All these features require a motherboard that can support these features. Thus, workstation and server motherboards cost more money due to having to support additional features.
Intel/AMD
1:33 The first choice you will need to make when selecting a motherboard is, are you are going to use an Intel or an AMD CPU? Motherboards will only support one type of CPU of one socket type. You will also find that it is not uncommon for motherboards to only support certain CPUs of that socket type.
Intel and AMD have come up with very different solutions for accessing memory. Each CPU will also have different features. For example, some CPUs will have video support so the computer will not require a graphics card. For these reasons, Intel and AMD motherboards are built very differently.
Nowadays, the CPU is also tied into how much memory the system can support. Choosing the right CPU will determine what features the motherboard will be able to support. To compare Intel CPUs, Intel has the Ark website. This site will also allow you to compare Intel’s other products.
AMD also has a similar website that will allow you to compare AMD CPUs with each other. There are so many components in a computer system. Since Intel and AMD have different approaches on how to design a CPU, the motherboards designs are very different. Because of this, it can be difficult to compare CPUs because it depends on what software and hardware you are using. Memory intensive applications may run better on some motherboards while CPU intensive applications may run better on other motherboards.
To get some idea which CPU may meet your needs, the CPU benchmark website compares a lot of different systems together. This will give you an idea of which CPU you should choose. Once you select which CPU you want to use, the next step is to select a motherboard that will work with your CPU.
Features
3:31 To select a motherboard, you should start considering what features you need and what you don’t. You don’t want to pay for features that you are never going to use. Motherboards are designed with a specific purpose in mind. Let’s consider two motherboards to understand why.
At the time this video was created, both these motherboards cost around about the same, but designed with a different purpose in mind. The first motherboard was designed for gaming, while the second was designed with business in mind.
If I compare the features, the gaming computer has 15 USB ports and the business one has 9 USB ports. The business computer is designed for a high-end workstation or a server so it is anticipated that it will not need as many USB ports.

Never too late to learn !! I have built hundreds (literally) of PCs since the CP/M era, but I never knew that the tiny PC speakers were polarized. I can see why so many people love your videos because they are clear, concise and ACCURATE. What more could anyone ask ?
FYI: I built a PC this week [ May 2024] with a NEW motherboard and was amazed to find that Windows 11 allowed the PC Speaker as an audio output device. I haven't seen that for years!
Nice to hear that we could help. I never though to look for Windows still supports the PC speaker. Nice to know. Thanks.
one of the best youtube channels I have found
Thanks very much.
I just watched a different video you made and I am a computer science major. Nothing crazy but I loved watching your video cause your informative, educated, and confident in your voice! Love it, great job and a good place for beginners and hardware! Thank you for your time.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for this video. I couldn't find this kind of video anywhere and it really helped a lottt!
Glad it helped!
Listening to the voice of the internet.
Thanks for watching.
This is gold!!! Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank You for this useful video
Thanks for watching.
Outstanding!
Thank you kindly!
Nice tutorial
Thanks
For the IO clips, a lot of ppl cut them off because there were a lot of situatios where some clips would touch the USB ports and cause issues.
It's not a bad idea to cut them off. They get in the way a lot.
love 4 knowldge
Thanks for watching.
Do all 9 holes on the motherboard need to be screwed in when mounting it to the case?
Not really, as long as it is held in place. The more screws the better to hold it in place. However, if you building a computer for someone else it looks more professional to have all the screws in place. Usually I will use a minimum of four, one for each corner if it is a testing build. For other people or if being filmed for a video I will put all of them in.
For those that don't have the clip, just touching the walls of the PC case or the PSU will be enough solve the static electricity issue.
Generally now days electronic parts are pretty static resistance so you can't argue that if you are careful and you remove the static electricity by touching the case first you won't have any problems. We show the way you should be doing things, however in the real world you may not worry about doing this if you are careful.
@@itfreetraining After reading a ton of matterial and watching a video from der8auer where he shocked components on purpose (they worked afterwards), in my opinion the danger is minimal to non existent.
Having said that, if using a clip gives people peace of mind and confidence I will not stand in their way, nor judge them.
Hello sir, I am facing a problem with my desktop pc,,, I bought a new pc one month before but still facing window 10 boot up problem.. Shows error. Oxc000000e or oxc000000f...
